Curious and Uncommon Coral


These pillows are reminding me of the ocean today (...wishing I was there). Illustrations of coral and seaweed from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries printed onto pure Irish linen and backed with métis (a linen and cotton blend). From Natural History out of the UK.
