Bd. 2010 Andreas Mayer Pflanzen aus Glas (Plants made of glass) Zusammenfassung Die berühmte Harvard Universität besitzt ein angesehenes naturwissenschaftliches Museum das „Harvard Museum of Natural History“, welches jährlich rund 180.000 Besucher aus aller Welt anlockt. Die Hauptattraktion stellt eine einzigartige Sammlung von Pflanzenmodellen aus Glas dar. Prof. George Lincoln Goodale, der erste Direktor des Botanischen Museums von Harvard, wollte in den frühen 80er Jahren des 19. Jahr­ hunderts permanente Pflanzenmodelle aus Glas. Sie sollten zum einen die Schönheit des Pflanzenreichs in möglichst realistischer Form abbilden und zum anderen das ganze Jahr über zu Unterrichtszwecken genutzt werden. Ihm gelang es die beiden äußerst talentierten deutschen Glaskünstler, die sich bereits durch die Herstellung sehr realistischer Glasmodelle von marinen Invertebraten (wie etwa Quallen und See­ anemonen) einen Namen gemacht hatten, Leopold und seinen Sohn Rudolf Blaschka zur Herstellung von Pflanzen aus Glas zu überzeugen. Die Modelle wurden in den Jah­ ren 1886 bis 1936 exklusiv für die Harvard Universität mit damals üblichen Techniken gefertigt. Sie versetzten von da an den Betrachter durch ihre unbeschreibliche Schön­ heit und Detailtreue in großes Erstaunen. Die Finanzierung dieses Mammutprojekts übernahm Elizabeth C.

    MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science 2003 PREPRINT 233 Lorraine Daston and Anke te Heesen Things that Talk Table of Contents Introduction 3 The Glass Flowers Lorraine Daston 5 News, Papers, Scissors Anke te Heesen 33 Things that Talk – Table of Contents 57 Introduction These two essays were written as part of a working group of historians of art and science on “Things that Talk”, organized under the auspices of the research project “The Common Languages of Art and Science” (2001-3) at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin (Dept. II). The other members of the working group were Peter Galison (Harvard University, USA), Caroline A. Jones (MIT, USA and Wissenschafts- kolleg zu Berlin, Germany), Joseph Koerner (University College London, UK), Antoine Picon (Ecole des Ponts et Chausées, Paris, France), Joel Snyder (University of Chicago, USA), Simon Schaffer (University of Cambridge, UK), and Norton Wise (UCLA, USA). The group met three times in Berlin to discuss various versions of members’ essays and, more generally, the place of material culture in the history of science and the history of art. The nine essays, including the two that appear here as a preprint, will be published as a volume by Zone Books. A complete table of contents is appended to this preprint. The aim of the research project was to go beyond cases of historical interactions between art and science to investigate tools (e.g. drawing) and challenges (e.g. representation) common to both. In the case of the working group on “Things that Talk”, the departure point was a shared perplexity about how to capture the thingness of things in our respective disciplines.

  • Flowers That Know No Season the Cold and Snow Finished Both The
    Flowers That Know No Season The cold and snow finished both the camellias that choose this time to bloom in sheer defiance and the roses gamely hanging on way past their time. Grasses are elegantly frosted and red berries abound, but they really aren’t flowers, are they? Serendipitously a friend lent me a copy of “The Glass Flowers at Harvard” thinking I might enjoy writing about flowers that do not fade. Many of you may have visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History, one of the most complete natural history museums in the New England area. The Harvard University Herbaria with about 5.5 million specimens of plants and fungi is surely one of the most comprehensive collections in the world and along with several other diverse collections, bones to stones adding up to over 21 million objects. The Botanical Museum dates back to 1858 when it was founded by Asa Gray and called the Museum of Vegetable Products, so you can see that what was important was useful plants, those eaten or used in medicine. As specimens accumulated it was realized that a dried, faded specimen of what was once a vibrant flower, did not do justice to its beauty, nor were the delicate parts of the original easy to study. In that period, the 1880s, wax and papier-mache were used but they did not last. When the director of the Botanical Museum, Dr. Goodale, saw glass replicas of marine invertebrates in Harvard’s museum of Comparative Zoology, he determined that the consummate skill that produced marine specimens should be channeled into botany.
