[Signed] Princess Grace of Monaco. My Book of Flowers. First English Edition. 1980. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is inscribed, “To Julian Crosby, Best wishes, Grace de Monaco” on the flyleaf.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis edited the American edition of her friend Princess Grace’s book. This English edition, however, is better in terms of size and quality. It was inspired by a sold-out exhibition of pressed flower collages the Princess had shown in a Paris gallery. The book includes examples of the collages as well as other aspects Grace’s fascination with botanicals, including photographs of the royal gardens in Monaco. Her husband’s high expectations of decorum fitting a princess meant that Grace’s ability to promote the book was severely curtailed. As such, signed copies are uncommon.

“As with music, there is also a timelessness about flowers and a sense of communication. They bring people together in the most enchanting ways, and isn’t that what life is all about?”

--Princess Grace of Monaco
