"In the 19th century, Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley struggled to capture the fleeting wonder of snowflakes, successfully photographing the first in 1885 using a surface of black velvet. Though the methodology has improved since then, the awe for the snowflake’s exquisiteness remains."
Like those early photographs, their Snowflake suspends the crystalline, geometric perfection of what Bentley called “tiny miracles of beauty.”
"Keep your globe out of direct sunlight. Sunlight shining through the water is a magnifier and can cause a fire. Sunlight can also cause the water to discolor. Dust with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner is fine on the globe. Cool snowglobes are made of glass and are not toys for children."
