A graphic collection of 95 flower specimens bearing the signature of Mademoiselle, ``Paul Vasen,'' which Genta Iimura, the owner of the antique shop ``ATLAS'' in Yushima, Tokyo, discovered by chance at a flea market in southern France. .
Judging from the condition of the mounts, the specimens are estimated to have been created approximately 100 years ago, and the pale colors still remain, and the layout of the flowers gives a sense of the collector's delicate and poetic sense of beauty.
Only a small amount of information, such as the collection location, can be learned from the records, and combined with the mysterious background, this is a book that transcends eras and arouses a variety of imaginations.
Writer· Includes an essay by Toshiyuki Horie and an index listing collection locations and Japanese scientific names .
