EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the delicate beauty of the Qantuta flower, also known as Cantua buxifolia or Cantua dependens. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this botanical illustration bring to life the unique characteristics of this Andean flower.
Originally published in Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire's Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe in 1851, this print showcases the meticulous artistry and scientific accuracy that were characteristic of botanical illustrations during the 19th century. The combination of artistic skill and botanical expertise is evident in every petal, leaf, and stem depicted in this stunning image.
