Mary Delany Festive Florals Christmas Cards
Exclusive to the British Museum a pack of eight Christmas cards featuring collage designs based on the festive floral artwork of Mary Delany.
These beautiful cards include four each of two designs; one combines mistletoe, holly and black hellebore, the other depicts snowdrops, guelder rose berries and vibrant amaryllis reginae. The message inside reads "Season's Greetings".
Mary Delany (1700-1788) is renowned for her exquisite botanical collages. Delany mastered the art of imitating flowers by using tiny pieces of paper to build up her intricate “mosaicks”. She began creating her incredible artwork at the tender age of 72 and went on to produce nearly a thousand pieces.
Many of Mrs. Delany’s collages are now housed in the Prints and Drawings department at the British Museum, having been bequeathed in 1897 by Mary’s grand-niece Augusta Hall.
A lovely festive design for sending Christmas wishes.
