Frank Sander (1847-1920) came to St Albans in 1876 and became a major supplies of orchids to late Victorian England - including many European Royalty. The book Frederick Sander: The Orchid King provides an insight into the world of orchid collecting. It was written by Arthur Swinson in 1970 and I say something of the St Albans connection on the Review page.
Why not share what you know if your ancestor worked for Frederick Sander - or brought orchids from him.
