Anthurium Flamingo Horticole Linden Madame Pannemaeker
EDITORS COMMENTS
An enchanting chromolithograph of the exotic Anthurium scherzerianum, or the Madame de la Devansaye flamingo flower, graces this vintage print. Drawn meticulously by the skilled hand of P. de Pannemaeker, this botanical masterpiece was published in Ghent during the 1880s as part of Jean Linden's esteemed horticultural publication, "L'Illustration Horticole." Jean Linden (1817-1898), a renowned Belgian explorer, horticulturist, and scientist, dedicated his life to the study and documentation of the natural world. His extensive botanical knowledge and passion for horticulture led him to publish numerous books and journals, showcasing the most beautiful and intriguing plant species known to man. The Anthurium scherzerianum, also referred to as the flamingo flower, is a stunning tropical plant native to Central and South America. Its vibrant, waxy spathe and spadix, which resemble the legs and body of a flamingo, give this plant its unique and captivating appearance. The Madame de la Devansaye variety, specifically, is prized for its rich, velvety red coloration. This exquisite chromolithograph, produced during the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the world of botanical exploration and discovery during a time when the study of plants was a source of great fascination and wonder. The intricate details and vivid colors captured in this print serve as a testament to the artistry and dedication of both P. de Pannemaeker and Jean Linden, who shared their passion for the natural world with generations to come.
