The watercolor was completed in Great Britain circa 1800.  The paper is woven and watermarked 1797-1801.  Most of the watercolors also display contemporary pencil captions.  The botanicals were lightly sketched in pencil, completed with watercolor, and finished with gum arabic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watercolors were most likely completed by the fantastic botanical artist Mary Lawrance (later Mary Kearse).  The possible attribution to Mary Lawrance is based principally on the presence of two images of the passion flower. Although undated, the watermarks confirm that these drawings were accomplished circa 1800, just at the time that Lawrance was working on her now-fantastically-rare \u003cem\u003eA Collection of Passion Flowers\u003c\/em\u003e (1799-1800).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Lawrance exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1795 to 1830.  She was a skilled artist that was able to charge for lessons when it was considered a social accomplishment for ladies to paint flowers.  She \"is said to have been the possessor of much personal charm and exceedingly popular in London. [She] obtained her botanical specimens for her drawings from various nursery gardens, including the famous Vineyard nursery at Hammersmith.
