Walters in 1863. The commission was likely given on 12 February (see Randall, Diary of George A. Lucas, vol. 2, p. 150), on 14 October of the same year Lucas records ""Bonvin delivered the 12th flower for W's - paid him the remaining 100 fs making 300 fs for the 12"" (Randall, Diary of George A. Lucas, vol. 2, p. 163).[2] Published as a wood engraving in ""Harper's New Monthly Magazine,"" 1885, captioned as ""owned by Mr. W. T. Walters.
