The plays and poetry of William Shakespeare reflect his intimate
acquaintance with gardens and the countryside. His enchanting
descriptions of both the wild and cultivated flowers of Elizabethan England
easily relate them to human life through his unequalled gift of poetic
imagery. These beautiful playing cards, exquisitely illustrated by
artist Ann Gillies, bring to life the character of 54 different flowers,
showing Latin and common names, together with a short companion quotation
from Shakespeare.
These pictures are just a random sampling from the deck.
