Case Studies. A Story of Plant Travel. NEW.

Felicity Jones and Mark Smith, editors.

An original and artistic history of the Wardian Case (a kind of small portable glazed box). The text describes the successful part it played in the global movement of economic and garden plants. The work combines contemporary images of cased plants with historical essays. There are photographs of herbarium specimens collected in New Zealand by Banks and Solander. A very large heavy book.
