- Notes:
- Accordion folded sheet of rough hand-made paper, with the shapes of six small scissors-cut butterflies stitched in at the inner folds. The paper for the butterfly shapes is derived from small fragments of envelopes bearing various forms of British postage stamps and postmarks. Butterflies are identified at the bottom of each page, in pen and brown ink (presumably in the artist's hand).
The accordion folded paper is sandwiched between plain paper boards at either end, the upper of which bears a first class British stamp and postmark. The item may be tied shut with hemp strings attached to both boards.
