Artist and writer
Mary Delany (1700 - 1788) created "Paper Mosaiks" in her later life. There is an astounding collection of nearly 1000 flower Mosaiks in the
British Museum; collages of coloured papers, with watercolour,
on black ink backgrounds. All exceptionally detailed and botanically accurate!
