EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Insectivorous plants" takes us back to the early 20th century when knowledge about these fascinating botanical wonders was still being explored. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia in approximately 1922. The image showcases a variety of insectivorous plants that have intrigued scientists and nature enthusiasts for centuries. Among them are the Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Pinguicula drosera rotundifolia, Aldrovandia vesiculosa, Utricularia vulgaris, Dionaea muscipula (commonly known as the Venus flytrap), Sarracenia drummondii, Nepenthes dischidia rafflesiana, and Cephalotus follicularis. These unique plants have evolved specialized mechanisms to capture and digest insects as a source of nutrients in nutrient-poor environments. Their intricate structures and adaptations make them both visually stunning and scientifically significant. Through this lithograph's detailed depiction of each plant species' distinct characteristics and habitats, we gain insight into the rich diversity within the world of insectivorous flora. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about nature's marvels and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection today, let it remind us of how far our understanding has come since its creation while inspiring us to continue
