Dark passion Flowers (vintage wood engraving) from a book of goth poetry

---

Edward Robert Lytton Bulwer-Lytton wrote “Lucille” - a Goth poem if ever there was one - in 1882, and this illustration of passion flowers was by the text, It wanted but two rosy hours / From the noon, when they pass'd through the thick passoin flowers / Of the little wild garden that dimpled before / The small house where their carriage now stopp'd, at Bigorre.
