{"product_id":"the-paper-garden-molly-peacock-9781608196975","title":"The Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life's Work at 72","description":"In 1772, upon the death of her second husband, Mary Delany arose from her grief, picked up a pair of scissors, and, at the age of seventy-two, created a new art form: mixed-media collage. Over the next decade, Mrs. Delany produced an astonishing 985 botanically correct, breathtaking cut-paper flowers, now housed in the British Museum and referred to as the \u003ci\u003eFlora Delanica\u003c\/i\u003e. As she tracks the extraordinary life of Delany-friend of George Frideric Handel and Jonathan Swift-internationally acclaimed poet Molly Peacock weaves in delicate parallels in her own life and, in doing so, creates a profound and beautiful examination of the nature of creativity and art. This gorgeously designed book, featuring thirty-five full-color illustrations, is to be devoured as voraciously as one of the court dinners it describes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Peacock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608196976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608196975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.09w x 1.23d","brand":"Molly Peacock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051535593727,"sku":"9781608196975","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c177829f-1663-44c1-b129-e2c559b65441.jpg?v=1685013677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paper-garden-molly-peacock-9781608196975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
