Thesaurus Scienta Lancastriae

Thesaurus Scienta Lancastriae is a collaborative work between six-year old Jack Aylward-Williams and his father Robert Williams. In this book, Jack explains the world to his father, an artist and academic, who translates its cosmology to the reader. This project uses Williamson’s Park in Lancaster as a microcosm of the world, encompassing disciplines of geology, botany, zoology, physics, arboriculture, anthropology and many others. Thesaurus Scienta Lancastriae was shortlisted for the prestigious AXA/Art Newspaper Exhibition Catalogue Award.
