Summary

"Wake Dearest" a reproduction of a watercolor by Edward Burne-Jones (d. 1898) published posthumously (1905) by his wife in "The Book of Flowers" one of 38 images in the book.

The images were faithfully reproduced by French printer Henri Piazza as collotypes with hand-stenciled watercolor additions in a technique called pochoir. The portrayals are often mistaken for original watercolors. 300 copies of The Flower Book were published, most as bound books, though a small number were produced as individually matted plates housed in a clamshell box.

This is from the unbound "Book" in the Delaware Art Museum.

Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) was an one of the leading painters and designers of late 19th-century England, whose romantic paintings using medieval imagery were among the last manifestations of the Pre-Raphaelite style. More long-lasting is his influence as a pioneer of the revival of the ideal of the “artist-craftsman,” so influential to the development of 20th-century industrial design.
