The Babushka and the Headscarf is a picture book about co-creative design. It is a personal portfolio - from Claire Baker - of photographs documenting a series of print samples and silk scarves. The designs are based on the storytelling and embroidery practices of the Babushkas, a small number of ageing women who still live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone following the worlds worst nuclear accident in 1986. A book that has been read, but is in good condition. Hardcover with corner embellishment in metal. Some shelf-wear bumps and creases are evident e.g. scuff marks, but no holes or tears. Binding has minimal wear. The pages are undamaged but may have some slight creasing but this is minimal. It is clean and bright inside with a little wear to edges. It contains many colourful images. There is a dedication signed by the artist.
