Botanical Study. Artist: Attributed to Mary Delany (British, Coulston, Wiltshire 1700-1788 London). Dimensions: sheet (irregular): 10 1/16 x 9 1/8 in. (25.5 x 23.2 cm). Date: ca. 1772-82.The celebrated diarist and amateur artist Mary Delany ranks among the most accomplished paper-cutters of all time. She developed the technique of "paper-mosaick" at the age of seventy-two, when her diminishing eyesight hindered her embroidery. Working to scale directly from a plant specimen, Delany cut and assembled dozens or even hundreds of minute pieces of colored tissue paper to create a single image of precise botanical accuracy. Encouraged by King George III and Queen Charlotte (who took a strong personal interest in her skills and sent her work to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew), Delany produced nearly a thousand sheets for her "Flora Delanica" in a little more than a decade. Typically, she labeled her work on the back and arranged her collection (now in the British Museum) according to Carl
