Collecting WHY I COLLECT
“My passion for nature prints was ignited in 2003 when Christie's London held a sale to auction off books and manuscripts from the library of the 17th Earl of Perth. I spotted an 1839 book of 430 seaweed specimens and I was just amazed by it. It led me down the road to acquiring everything I could get my hands on.
I've always been interested in howtexts related to nature printing. Everything has to be stored carefully in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight or heat.
