    Selected exhibitions: "'Of Green Leaf, Bird, and Flower': Artists' Books and the Natural World" (Yale Center for British Art, May 15 - August 10, 2014).
    Likely intended for the collection of visiting cards, this hand-painted, cut-paper basket evokes a decorated ceramic fruit bowl. The unidentified creator may well have copied the flowers from a drawing manual of the sort published by Augustin Heckel.
