Pressed Flower Pictures: A Victorian Art Revived - 1969

"These pictures are made with flowers, You can make them, and this book will show you how. You do not have to be able to draw, or paint: and you can create something beautiful, which will please you and decorate your home, using materials which are free—flowers, leaves, stalks, ferns, grasses, garden weeds and wild flowers. Whatever comes to hand outdoors, you can try in a picture. Pamela McDowall is an expert. Her beautiful pictures have been widely exhibited, and her television appearances, broadcasts, lectures, and articles in magazines are eagerly watched for: she includes in her book lists of suitable flowers, leaves, grasses which she has used successfully in her own work, but she has not tried everything—no one could. The field is wide open for new flower artists to experiment..." Pressed Flower Pictures: A Victorian Art Revived - Pamela McDowall Published 1969, Lutterwoth Press, London Hardcover.
