The care lavished on the project was enormous: Sander had twenty orchid collectors working simultaneously in Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Madagascar, New Guinea, Burma and Malaya; and the blocks for the plates were hand-made from wood, with as many as twenty inks used in the production of the chromolithographs. The overall cost to Sander was said to have been well over £7,000; he often remarked in later years that the project nearly ruined him.
