Summary note
"From orchids to bananas, Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka created a stunning array of glass models of plants from around the world. Working exclusively for Harvard University in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Blaschkas applied their artistic expertise and botanical knowledge to craft a meticulously portrayed collection for Harvard students, researchers and the public. The precise shaping and delicate painting and enameling of the models renders life-like details that fool the eye. Such detail is captured in dazzling new photographs of 60 models that inspire wonder and blur the line between the real and that which is made by man. The Ware Collection of Glass Plants is unique and astonishing. It demonstrates the majesty of plants and the artistry and scientific acumen of this father and son team"-- Provided by publisher.
