Miniature Flowers on Top of Seaweed

Colony of miniature flowers floating on top of various type of seaweed in Saint George's Lake in the middle of Copenhagen.

Part of my ‘Flora Excursoria Hafniensis’ series that takes its part of departure in a 1838 work with the same title by Danish Botanist Salomon Thomas Nicolai, who was also the editor on the more widely known work 'Flora Danica'.

‘Flora Excursoria Hafniensis’ is then nested in a meta collection, in the form of a Foundation gallery, titled Copenhagen Chronotopes, borrowing a term from the literary scholar Mikhail Bakthin.

1st edition (1838) of 'Flora Excursoria Hafniensis' by Danish botanist Salomon Thomas Nicolai Drejer. At the point of writing, August 2024, only two more editions are for sale in the public market. The book is shown on top of two test prints on Japanese kozo paper of one of the works in the series.
