Ms Lydia Becker's botanical desk

From researching into Manchester Museum's Herbarium, I learnt about Lydia Becker who was one of the first female botanist's who was a suffragette with Emmeline Pankhurst in the 1800's. I've decided to create Lydia Becker's work space, with jars of preserved plants, dried flowers, old ornaments, oil lamp, botanical illustrations and suffragette ribbons and support posters. I think I am going to use these photographs as my final piece, with the possibility of working with my dried flowers and drawing studies from the desk on photoshop. I am pleased with the items I have sourced using an abandoned desk, old desk chair, and oil lamp.
