介绍（中）	著名的日记家和业余艺术家玛丽·德拉尼（Mary Delany）是有史以来最有成就的剪纸师之一。她在七十二岁时发展了"纸马赛克"技术，当时她的视力下降阻碍了她的刺绣。Delany直接从植物标本中缩放，切割并组装数十甚至数百分钟的彩色薄纸，以创建精确植物学精度的单一图像。在国王乔治三世和夏洛特王后的鼓励下（夏洛特女王对她的技能产生了浓厚的个人兴趣，并将她的作品送到了邱园的皇家植物园），德拉尼在十多年内为她的"Flora Delanica"制作了近千张纸。通常，她根据卡尔·林奈（Carl Linnaeus）的植物分类性别系统在背面标记她的作品，并安排她的收藏（现在在大英博物馆）。目前没有确定一种天竺葵的例子，也许是因为在访问卢顿胡时送给布特勋爵和夫人，在那里她从花园里的标本中工作。它入到博物馆，该相册属于第三代布特伯爵约翰·斯图尔特（John Stuart），其中包含邱园花园和建筑物的设计。
介绍（英）	The celebrated diarist and amateur artist Mary Delany ranks among the most accomplished paper-cutters of all time. She developed the technique of "paper-mosaick" at the age of seventy-two, when her diminishing eyesight hindered her embroidery. Working to scale directly from a plant specimen, Delany cut and assembled dozens or even hundreds of minute pieces of colored tissue paper to create a single image of precise botanical accuracy. Encouraged by King George III and Queen Charlotte (who took a strong personal interest in her skills and sent her work to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew), Delany produced nearly a thousand sheets for her "Flora Delanica" in a little more than a decade. Typically, she labeled her work on the back and arranged her collection (now in the British Museum) according to Carl Linnaeus's sexual system of plant classification. The present example of a type of geranium is not identified, perhaps because given to Lord and Lady Bute on a visit to Luton Hoo, where she worked from specimens in the gardens. It came to the Museum inserted into an album that belonged to John Stuart, 3rd earl of Bute, containing designs for the gardens and buildings at Kew.
