The Red Camellia
Pictures by Abbé Lorenzo Berlèse
A rose-pink camellia from Abbé Lorenzo Berlèse's botanical plates opens above the words Many Thanks, and inside the card says your generosity means the world. The camellia was the fashionable flower of the 1840s, and Berlèse's book pictured three hundred of them. For someone whose kindness you want to thank.
