>Hello List,

>The GNSI received this information request, and I think the only way 
>we are going to answer it is to crowed source. Can you help Aimee 
>with finding information about 3D sculptures as science 
>illustrations?
>Please CC her email to any reply so she gets it.

>Hello,
>I am hoping you might be able to help me find more about the history 
>of scientific art.  Do you know of any publications covering the 
>genre of scientific art through history?  or do you have contacts 
>who might know a collective amount of information? More 
>specifically, I hope I might find collected information about 
>historic sculptural scientific models (like Harvard's glass flowers 
>(and invertebrates), or the wax anatomical models of La Specola, 
>plant models of the Field Museum....etc).
>
>Any help would be greatly appreciated.
>
>A note about myself:  I am a sculptor, working in paper, and have 
>encountered difficulty in having my work accepted into botanical art 
>shows on the basis of it being 3-D, despite both the accuracy of my 
>work and historic precedence of sculptural botanic art.

>Thanks,
