They have been described as "an artistic marvel in the field of science and a scientific marvel in the field of art". In response to the global explosion of interest in the natural world, and aided by the catalogue of Henry Augustus Ward which listed 630 different specimens, the Blaschkas established a reputation for their skill, receiving orders from all over the world.

They can be found in museums in Tokyo, New Zealand and Calcutta. Leopold (1822 - 1895) did not boast in vain when he claimed his works were to be found in "all the quarters of the globe".
