| All these books are hand illustrated with watercolours, and contain a background of hand-written text, which is based on excerpts from Gerard's Herball of the 16th century. There are two sizes of book: 3" x 2" (Hellebore, Columbine) and 1¾" x 1¼" (Crocus, Columbine, Primrose, Viola, Tulip, Narcissus). Each book is designed, painted, calligraphed and bound by Claire Bolton in a Japanese book cloth with ribbon tie. The smaller size are housed in a coloured corrugated card box. Each book is 25pp and is now out of print (there was only one copy of each book). | |
