The Flower Book - Golden Gate1905 Accession number: 1953P5.9 Colour facsimile. Collotype print. InformationA page from the facsimile edition of Burne-Jones' Flower Book, one of 38 watercolour designs reproduced by Henri Piazza et Cie, for the Fine Art Society, London in 1905. 'Golden gate' is a common name for the yellow day lily or hemerocallis (Peperomia obtusifolica). Burne-Jones is clearly borrowing from an earlier work, the 'Days of Creation' (Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, 1870-76), particularly the 'First Day'.
