The Paper Garden: Mrs. Delany Begins Her Life's Work at 72 by Molly Peacock

4.0

What an inspiration--an English gentlewoman of the 18th century who invents a new art form at the age of 72. Mrs. Delany's paper flower collages are, in themselves, wonderful. But I was even more charmed by the excerpts from her letters, which allowed her glowing personality to jump off the page. Loved the insights in to 18th century mores and thought.
