Alicia Weisberg-Roberts is co-editor of "Mrs. Delany and Her Circle." Delaney (1700-1788) was an amateur artist who, late in life, created a series of nearly 1000 paper botanicals which not only survived but are now on exhibit at the Sloan House Museum in London. The book is incredibly beautiful with color plates of the flowers as well as Delany's embroidery designs and drawings. The essay reveal what life was like among 18 century aristocrats from fashions to closets.
