The history of collecting natural history specimens touches upon many\u00a0aspects of our past. The fascination with nature was at least as important for\u00a0its view of humanity as for science. One telling example is the Timm Natural\u00a0Collection at Engelsberg Ironworks, created by the ironworks proprietor\u00a0Gabriel Casper Timm and his son Paul August in the nineteenth century.\u00a0Throughout their lives, they devoted much of their leisure time to collec-ting plants, insects, minerals and other treasures of nature. Some came from\u00a0near their home in V\u00e4stmanland, Sweden, while others were collected from\u00a0across Scandinavia. Father and son were in close contact with collectors and\u00a0scientists, and at the same time built up a library consisting of volumes on\u00a0natural science along with books on spirituality and faith. Ultimately, collec-ting natural history specimens reflected a kind of wonder about creation.\u00a0Collecting Nature places the Timm Natural Collection in a larger context\u00a0so that the reader encounters other collectors, thinkers, and scientists of the\u00a0eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the book, a picture is created of how\u00a0the world of ideas in collecting has developed and continues to influence us even today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
