Artifact Overview
Mary Walcott (1860-1940) captured the beauty of American wildflowers. Born into a well-to-do Quaker family, Walcott collected and illustrated botanical subjects while exploring the Canadian Rockies with her father and brothers. In 1925, the Smithsonian Institution published a five-volume set of her paintings. This photoengraving of Walcott's work was presented to Clara Ford when she became president of the Garden Club of America.
