Dancing Butterflies 750-Piece Puzzle, John Derian
Seven butterfly species flutter over a wild bush with silvery leaves and tassel blossoms, nestled among delicate blades of grass; beside each one, tiny handwritten numerals from the original naturalist still linger. A nineteenth-century botanical plate balanced between art and science that inspired a generation of Victorian naturalists, glowing with rich, gem-like tones from an era when reproducing colour on paper was still an extraordinary wonder.
Drawn from the personal collection of John Derian, the Boston-born artist and designer who has been breathing new life into antique prints through handmade decoupage in his New York studio since 1989. His East Village shops and creations have been celebrated across Vogue, Architectural Digest, and The World of Interiors.
Published by Artisan, the illustrated book imprint of Workman Publishing in New York, as part of the John Derian Paper Goods line. Seven hundred and fifty pieces, accompanied by a full-size art print insert, to gently guide each butterfly back into place.
