Keepsake Box: Mary Delany Florals

Galison's lovely Mary Delany Paper Florals cards reproduce 18th century cut-paper collages preserved in the British Museum. The bright flowers against a black background are refined and are appropriate for any kind of note. Mary Delany was 72 years old when she was inspired to begin creating her more than 1000 botanical collages. For each one, she cut and layered hundreds of tiny pieces of paper for her "paper mosaicks," which were admired by both artists and botanists.

Galison Keepsake Boxes hold sixteen 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" tent note cards--4 each of 4 images--and 17 colored envelopes. Each box has informative liner notes about the images on the cards, which include many fine art and museum images. The sturdy boxes measure 5 x 6 x 1-1/4', have a hinged lid with a magnetic closure and make handy decorative storage boxes when the cards have all been sent
