Title Page 1846

"Les Fleurs" is the title page for the book *Les Fleurs Animées*, which was a series of lithographs by the French artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville. The image portrays an anthropomorphic woman reaching up to touch a flower, and the letters of the word "FLEURS" themselves are depicted as floral arrangements. Grandville is most noted for his humorous and often satirical illustrations, many of which were drawn to accompany literature. This title page for *Les Fleurs Animées*, a collection of lithographs, was published in 1846, the year before Grandville's death at age 43.
