i went digging for the source on this bc its beautiful, and it looks like this was a from a decorative plate of lily of the valley designs by emma hervegh. heres the full plate!

i cant find whatever this was published in originally, but i did find something similar compiled by eugene grasset that has more floral decorative plates including more by her here!

i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”
