Notes
"The woodland boxes are partly inspired by the museum cases made to show off nineteenth century taxidermy collections .... In these a model of a natural scene is created and staged with an example of each species ... The maps serve as a pictorial background showing the landscape laid out, often with a woodland represented by tiny tree symbols and therefore a landscape can be imagined from a map."--Artist's statement.
Unique copy.
With a printed title label on the back of the box.
"John Dilnot" and "Made in Britain" stamped in ink on the back of the box.
With a copper D-ring on the back of the box (for hanging).
