MargSummary: This piece covers Harvard University’s Blaschka Glass Flower collection, with a focus on the Mangifera indica (mango) model that the father-son duo of Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka created in 1895. Though Mangifera indica is native to the Indian subcontinent, Rudolph Blaschka encountered it in Jamaica and decided to include it among the 4,000 botanical glass models that the Blaschkas made exclusively for Harvard. Once popular for their pedagogical use, the models are now marvelled at for their verisimilitude and unmatched artistry.
