An excellent example of Grandville's favorite work. "After Un autre monde the fifty-two colored engravings of Les fleurs animées are the chief example of Grandville's effort to penetrate to the meaning of objects like an 'intellectual miner' preface to Les étoiles p. xi even though only fifteen of the designs are entirely from his hand Bouchot p. 58. Though the images in the book are of Grandville's time his manner of proceeding is that of an artist of the modern movement exploring the same subject through a sequence of slight but significant variations. Most of the plates show an elegant lady in a garden her dress covered with an extraordinary pattern of flowers. She is sometimes accompanied by respectful creatures animals and insects even fish and reptiles. As the series nears its end there are more elaborate scenes of flower-ladies in groups. A little world is created governed by its own laws which was full of significance to Grandville and hence becomes so to the reader as well. His first biographer wrote in the preface to Les étoiles pp. xiii-ix: 'The Fleurs animées are the very thought of Grandville; they were his favorite work the work into the execution of which he put all that was in him of poetic and gracious originality of dexterity of mind and observation of that prodigious perspicacity which made him divine affinities hitherto unperceived by anyone and discover new worlds'" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.
