Images from Familiar Wild Flowers Figured and Described by F. Edward Hulme, F.L.S., F.S.A., First Series, published between 1897 and 1906. I think the individual chapters were published first and then the collection; there were nine volumes in all, but I only have the first, which was given to my father when he was a child and is still in very good condition.
