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).
