An Exquisite Scrapbook - Bookplates & Collages

Sold Out

An "Oh My Days" find ....... I have taken lots of photographs as a visual descriptor. The photographs don't show all the pages but give a suggestion of the interest and layers.

This is another exquisite scrapbook I have ever had the pleasure of purchasing. An array of colour plates, an excellent example of detailed prints for its time. The gems to these pages are the intricate pages of collaged compositions of flowers and birds. These would look amazing framed as a collection. Such inspiration can be extracted from each page. The cover is beautiful and a typical design for its time too. I have kept this for a few years as I just couldn't part with it. This is the joy of owning the Linen Garden. I have the pleasure of enjoying some items and allowing them to stay for a while here in the studio.

If you love old prints and their detailing and technique then you will adore this book and it will be a pleasure to hand it to the next appreciator. There's so much to inspire and you could photocopy the pages to re-use in journals and form your own collages.

A discovery that I just couldn't leave behind and I hope someone will treasure it as much as I have.

It is in loved condition where although still all intact the back cover has come away from the central binding but is still attached to the front cover. Doesn't really affect the album but wanted to point it out.

Measures 30cm x 24cm when closed.
