Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Plant Fever: The World on the Windowsill uncovers the hidden story of how plants from tropical and subtropical regions found their way into Danish homes in the 19th century. Plant fever took the country by storm, and the green newcomers began appearing in the art of the time first sporadically, then as a recurring motif. But houseplants are more than just decoration. They carry stories of colonial history, class divisions, gender rolesand of our relationship with nature.
