These durable, plastic luminaries feature beautiful designs, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Mary Vaux Walcott (1860-1940) was born in Philadelphia, PA. At age eight, she received a set of watercolors and began painting flowers, beginning a life-long vocation. Spending summers in the Canadian Rockies, she observed and painted the local flora. Returning there for more than 40 years, she produced hundreds of botanical studies. In 1914, she married Charles D. Walcott, a geologist, paleontologist, and secretary of the Smithsonian Institute. In 1925, the Smithsonian published North American Wild Flowers, a five-volume set containing 400 of Walcott’s paintings of native plants. Her work was acclaimed for its vivid color, detail, and accuracy. Weight: 4.6oz Size; 6" X 6.5" Materials: BPA free plastic Included: 4 luminaries & 4 LED candles with batteries
