As a hobby, Leopold began making glass flowers from illustrations in natural history books. So beautiful, accurate and delicate were these models, a buzz began to generate in his hometown in Germany, and a local aristocrat commissioned 100 glass orchids. Leopold’s son, Rudolf joined him in the painstakingly intricate work. Thus began a prolific career in natural history glassmaking, ending in the largest commission of their lives; an order from Harvard college for over 3000 plant and flower models for their botany students. fjordaan Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:07:06 GMT http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/news/stern_testimony_092201.htm fjordaan Wed, 09 Feb 2005 21:37:31 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/ fjordaan Thu, 26 May 2005 09:27:36 GMT http://www.harvard-magazine.com/on-line/050465.html fjordaan Wed, 29 Dec 2004 19:34:32 GMT http://www.med.harvard.edu/AANLIB/home.html fjordaan Wed, 02 May 2001 20:02:53 GMT
