Mary Delany and the botanising woman.
I remember Mary Delaney as one of the highlights of the rather patchy women artists exhibition at the Tate a couple of years ago.
I do love botanical prints and love learning about artists who produced them. I think it's very funny the paranoia about females getting sexually aroused. What about the male botanist's experiences, if that is the case?
If I had an embroidered petticoat such as the one pictured, I would wear it every day!
Wow, that snippet by Richard Polwhele says more about him than it does about women botanists!
Exactly!
Oh, how I love the work of Mary Delany. I interviewed Molly Peacock who wrote _The Paper Garden_ and will post that soon.
Beautiful essay on Delany's incredible work that defines the term "never too late".
