EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the Early Marsh-Orchid, Dactylorhiza incarnata, also known as Orchis latifolia. The image is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned botanical work, "Flora von Deutschland," published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. The Early Marsh-Orchid is a beautiful and elusive plant, native to wetlands and marshes in Europe. Its vibrant pink-purple flowers bloom early in the season, making it a distinctive and beloved sight in its natural habitat. The intricate details of the Early Marsh-Orchid's petals, sepals, and labellum are expertly rendered in this handcoloured lithograph. The delicate veining and texture of the leaves are also captured with great precision. The artist's skillful use of colour adds depth and dimension to the image, bringing out the unique characteristics of this enchanting orchid. Diederich von Schlechtendal was a prominent German botanist and publisher, known for his extensive work on the flora of Germany and other parts of Europe. His "Flora von Deutschland" was a groundbreaking publication, featuring over 5,000 plant species and becoming a standard reference work for botanists and naturalists of the time. This Early Marsh-Orchid illustration is a testament to the high-quality and accuracy of the work, which continues to be valued by researchers and collectors today.
