Illustrated Book of Flowers and Butterflies is a 1804 unspecified by Unknown, a Qing Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a deep red book cover covered in tiny, swirling patterns. The designs look like flowers and leaves tangled together, all in soft pink and white. The edges are frayed, and there’s a green ribbon marker on the left side. The book’s title is *Illustrated Book of Flowers and Butterflies*, which fits the nature scenes on the cover. It’s from the 1800s, when artists loved detailed, dreamy nature themes. Look up Romanticism to see how this fits into that art movement.
