Dr. Michael Sumner Book

Binding - Accordion

Materials - Oak wine barrel cover with mica window containing plant material reflecting Dr. Sumner’s botanical research, antique microscope slide box, photomicrographs and text printed on Epson Velvet Art paper with archival inks.

This book was commissioned by Dr. Isabel Waters and colleagues as a retirement gift celebrating the career of Dr. Michael Sumner, Professor of Botany. The book features scanning electron micrographs of plants he researched and testimonials of his colleagues and students. Presenting it in a vintage microscope slide box was in keeping with his microscopy expertise.
