EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts the Chilean jasmine, Mandevilla laxa, also known as Mandevilla suaveolens. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Chilean jasmine is a captivating vine, native to South America, specifically Chile and Peru. Its delicate, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in various shades of pink, white, and purple, with a sweet, jasmine-like fragrance that adds to its allure. The intricate details of the flowers, leaves, and tendrils are beautifully rendered in this lithograph, showcasing the exceptional artistry and botanical accuracy of the time. The Chilean jasmine was a popular addition to European gardens during the 19th century due to its exotic beauty and intoxicating scent. This botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the horticultural achievements of the era but also as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the natural world and its diverse flora.
