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.xray-art.com/gal1.htm fjordaan Tue, 06 May 2003 22:32:48 GMT
