The Fragile Beauty of Harvard's Glass Flowers
This article describes the glass flower collection at the Harvard Botanical Museum, which began in 1890 "when father and son glass artists Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka signed a ten-year agreement to make plant models exclusively for Harvard University. This relationship with Harvard would ultimately span a half century and culminate in one of the most unique and breathtakingly beautiful collections ever created." Includes five images. From the Journal of Antiques and Collectibles.
