EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Begonia rex cultivar, Comtesse Louise Erdody, a rare and exotic beauty that has captivated horticulturists and plant enthusiasts for over a century. The Comtesse Louise Erdody is a cross between two remarkable Begonia species: Begonia Alexander von Humboldt and Begonia argenteo-cupreata. This rare hybrid was produced by Fr. Nemeczek of Neumarhof in the late 19th century. The intricate details of the Comtesse Louise Erdody's leaves are showcased in this beautiful lithograph by Pieter de Pannemaeker, as featured in Jean Lindens l'Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1884. The vibrant colors and intricate veining of the Comtesse Louise Erdody's leaves are a testament to the rich diversity of the Begonia genus. Begonias are a popular choice for tropical plant enthusiasts due to their lush foliage and exotic appearance. The Rex cultivars, in particular, are prized for their ornate and decorative leaves, which come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors. The Comtesse Louise Erdody is no exception, with its large, ruffled leaves that are a striking blend of silver, green, and burgundy. This botanical illustration not only serves as a beautiful piece of art but also as a valuable record of the rich horticultural history of the late 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph allows us to appreciate the unique beauty of the Comtesse Louise Erdody, a rare and exotic Begonia cultivar that continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
