EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the Belgian gagea, Gagea spathacea, a beautiful and rare bulbous plant native to Europe. The illustration is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned botanical work, "Flora von Deutschland," published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration showcases the delicate features of the Belgian gagea, with its broad, spatulate leaves and bell-shaped, white flowers adorned with purple veins and speckles. The plant is typically found in woodlands and meadows, and blooms in late spring. The Belgian gagea is a beloved addition to many botanical gardens and private collections due to its elegant appearance and unique character. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the skill and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the past. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Belgian gagea to life and making it a true work of art.
