"Though undated, the Belford Clarke company began their Household Edition series in the 1880's. In addition the beautiful cover art is done in the Victorian Aesthetic Movement style. This style of decoration did not emerge until well after 1840 and was in full swing circa 1870's. One of the main design elements that was popular during the Aesthetic Movement was sunflowers, which are on the cover." quoted from online research
