The Conservatory portrays the historical evolution of the conservatory, featuring the landmark structures, their patrons and designers, the technology, and artistic majesty of the conservatory-from the plainly built, utilitarian constructions of ancient times to the great glass palaces of the Victorian age. Page by page, this book traces their beauty, grace, and their newly discovered relevance for the modern world of nature, science, and art, lavishly illustrated with evocative contemporary and archival photographs and drawings.
