Note du spécialiste

The exterior is adorned with illustrations from Danish botanist Carl Hansen Ostenfeld's Bilder ur Nordens Flora (1905). Ostenfeld served as the director of the Copenhagen Botanical Garden and taught botany at the University of Copenhagen. An avid explorer, Ostenfeld traveled outside of Denmark to explore flora and fauna in Iceland, Greenland, the British Isles, Ireland, and Australia.
