"At a crossing in the forest, where four roads unite, a number of flowers happened to meet - among which were seen the Cactus, the Peach-blossom, the Dahlia, the Sensitive-plant, the Fuchsia, the Periwinkle, and the Sweet-scented Pea." T. Delord.
Les Fleurs animées is a work published by Gabriel de Gonet in 1847 in two volumes. The illustrations of this book (52 steel engraved, hand colored plates) are by the French cartoonist J.J. Grandville, the text is by Taxtile Delord, while the introduction is by Alphonse Karr.
In all the illustrations there are the images of women as flowers personified, clothed in courtly fashions blended with petals and leaves. From all the joys and the sorrows of each personified flower, moral lessons are taught.
"Happy they who love flowers! Happy, indeed, if they love flowers alone!" A. Karr

J. J. Grandville
J. J. Grandville, was a French caricaturist. His ability for political provocation made his work with great impact. He worked in a wide variety of formats, from his first job illustrating the parlor game Old Maid, to illustrated newspaper strips of which he was a master. Though the designs of Grandville are occasionally unnatural and absurd, they usually display keen analysis of character and marvellous inventive ingenuity, and his humor is always tempered and refined by delicacy of sentiment and a vein of sober thoughtfulness.
