Alice Flood seaweed album
Manuscripts
A collection of sixty-eight seaweed, algae, and bryozoan samples, many of which have culinary uses; the majority of the samples are labeled with both common English names and Latin names. The majority of the samples were collected along the English coast, but two samples have a given location of "Point de Galles" in Sri Lanka. Each sample is attached to the paper with tiny stitches of thread; the leaves are loose and housed in a contemporary green cloth drop-sided box. The box also contains a poem on the recto of one folded leaf about the beauty of seaweed. The seaweed samples are extremely fragile and must be handled with care.
