Madame Prévost

Madame Prévost (fl. 1830) was a French florist. She has been named as the first flower seller to open a flower shop in Paris, where the flower trade had previously only been sold by street vendors. She is said to have developed the first modern flower bouquet and played an important part in the history of modern floristry, which was developed in Europe in this time period.
