This Liberal and Improving Age

By the dawn of the nineteenth century a culture of scientific fascination had matured throughout Britain and Europe. Gardeners had qcquired a new rational and empirical approach in their quest to create larger glasshouses for bigger species. These could let in a greater amout of light and be more efficient in their environmental controls. The eighteenth-century colonial legacy had brought the wealth, plants and patrons; and the newly emerging industries provided materials and technology. The most revolutionary innovation was made by John Claudius Loudon, the famous horticultural encyclopedist, when he invented the iron sash bar, Previously the wooden frames of palm houses or other greenhouses, which enclosed humid, tropical climates, had a limited life. Wood and glass houses also required substantial structural members and glazing bars that encroached on interior space and blocked light. In contrast, iron-filigree structures took the glass house into-filigree structures took the glasshouse into a new realm in terms of their capacity for light and large open spans.
It was not only the specialists who were enthused by the possibilities of scientific learning. Wood travel was in its infancy, and individuals and institutions were collecting animals, insects, curios and plants: the natural world

自由进步的时代

随着十九世纪的到来，一种科学迷幻的文化在英国和欧洲逐渐成熟起来。园艺家们在他们的探索中寻得了一种新的合理而有具有实验性的方法来建造更大的温室，以此来获取更多的空间。这些温室能够采纳更多的光线，并且能够使得温室内部的环境使用和支配更加有效。十八世纪的殖民地遗产带来了财富、植物和资助者；并且刚刚涌现的工业也为此提供了原料和技术。最具有革命意义的创新是由著名的园艺百科全书作者Claudius Loudon实现的，当时，他发明了铁框架格栅，以往的温室或其它一些花房所采用的木质框架会吸收潮气，在热带气候环境中使用寿命很有限。用木头和玻璃所建造的房子同时还需要强劲的建筑支撑构件和玻璃格栅，这些构件和玻璃格栅占用室内空间，并且阻碍光线。相反，铁饰建筑把玻璃房带入了精工细作的工艺，同时也把温室建筑带入以采光好，跨度大为衡量尺度的新领域。
并不只是因为这些专家们对科学学术的可能性所持的狂热，而且还因为木材的运输在当时还处于起步阶段，个人和公共机构还在收集动物、昆虫、古玩和植物：一个真正的自然世界。
