Instructions in Foliage

Instructions in foliage by Sarah E. Herman first published in 1873. This beautiful art of which I am thankful to Providence to be the inventor has been taught by me in New York with great success in fact it has been pronounced the greatest invitation of the day. Its great merit lies in its simplicity - no moulds nor scissors being used - every leaf in wax being made from the natural leaf; and the greatest exactness and perfection every fibre indenture contour and even defect which are on the natural plants are so well imitated that it is almost impossible' to know unless by the touch that it is only wax.
