Mary Delany (1700-1788) created lifelike portraits of flowers using cut paper. Mind you she did this in her 70’s without current electrical benefits.
Her close to 1000 works are valued for their scientific accuracy. They reside in the British Museum.
The Paper Garden, by Molly Peacock, tells her story.
Similarly, Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was a trailblazer in the fields of entomology and botany. She was the first person to travel transatlantically for scientific purposes.
