Karen Azoulay
Flowers and Their Meanings, Playing Cards

[64] pp., 5.7 x 3.8cm., boxed
Edition size unknown


A boxed deck of cards based on Azoulay’s 2015 book work Flowers and Their Meanings, a guide for deciphering, exploring the Victorian language of flowers. Each of the 60 cards reveal a symbol from the artist's flower dictionary, such as: foxglove (a wish), fuchsia (humble love) or crocus (abuse not). 

Beyond their use as flash cards to learn floriography, the set includes three instructions cards outlining how the deck may be used to play a Divination Game, generate poetry, or perform magic tricks.  

Unfortunately, the edition has already sold-out.
