Album of cut out silhouette flowers and plants
Book Description
CLARKE,J. Album of flowering plants, grasses, ferns etc in paper cut out silhouettes. Pasted into their original hard cover album covered in grained red cloth, gilt, approx 20 cm x 17 cm. Pp 26 used, 23 of them featuring cut out plants, 1 cut out scene, the other two pen drawings. Exceptionally fine work laid out in a decorative style, most images with several plants in an arrangement. A note, written to a Mrs Couch [ the recipient of the album] is loosely laid in. It is signed by the donor, a J Clarke of Knutsford, Cheshire UK who hopes that Mrs Couch will like the work. The album appears Victorian- it is a good quality album with yellow-wash endpapers. Light toning and sometimes a hint of offsetting from the black paper cut outs, but otherwise a sturdy binding in Very Good plus condition.
