This contemporary manuscript was inspired by the scientific journeys and exotic expeditions that scientists in the 19th and early 20th centuries undertook into different parts of the world.
Often times, their observations are documented in vivid and fascinating language in handwritten journals, and the drawings – the work of the scientists themselves or made by an accompanying artist – reflect and recreate what they saw. Today, when there are so many possibilities to document one’s observations and verbalize knowledge, the author of the manuscript turns to this archaic model to introduce us to an exciting and interesting “territory” – the wild orchids in Bulgaria. A total of 77 species are presented in the manuscript.
The manuscript is published in the form of a phototype edition, including all drawings and texts.
