The British Museum - Delany Flowers Elastic Closure Journal

Description

Mary Delany's stunning works are a remarkable combination of art and science. Often mistaken for watercolours, they are in fact carefully constructed paper collages, or 'mosaicks' as she called them.  In the autumn of 1772, the 72 year old wrote to her niece, modestly stating, "I have invented a new way of imitating flowers".

From the British Museum collection,  Museum & Galleries  present this stunning journal.

This hard cover journal is the perfect size to take along in a bag or jacket pocket.  Use for gardening notes, wish lists, thoughts and plans, maybe you'll start a new classic novel?

New Elasticated Journals from The British Museum feature beautiful imagery developed from the Museum's archive.

• Hard cover with elastic band closure, bellyband, and expanding pocket.
• 200 pages lined paper
• Size: 180 x 130mm
