Instructions in Madame Herman's New Method of Making Wax Flowers

Instructions in Madame Herman's New Method of Making Wax Flowers by Sarah E. Herman, first published in 1873. This book has been made more particularly to supply the wants of persons living at a distance, and who can not come to this city to learn this method. Any one with the "love of the beautiful " can not but admire well-made wax flowers which resemble nature so well that many persons are daily deceived by them, mistaking them for natural flowers; they are well adapted to decorative purposes, and nothing is more pretty for presents than wax flowers.
