EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Esmeralda Cathcartii orchid, also known as Vanda Cathcarti, a captivating beauty native to the Himalayas. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Esmeralda Cathcartii orchid is renowned for its mesmerizing appearance, with its vibrant, rich green leaves and exquisite, delicate white flowers adorned with crimson-red stripes. The intricate details of the orchid's petals and sepals are masterfully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, revealing the true elegance and allure of this rare and exotic bloom. Orchids, particularly those from the Himalayas, were highly sought-after treasures during the Victorian era, and the publication of such detailed and accurate botanical illustrations was crucial for both scientific discovery and the advancement of horticulture. The Esmeralda Cathcartii orchid, with its captivating beauty, was no exception. This exquisite botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and botanical artists of the time but also offers a glimpse into the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era. The Esmeralda Cathcartii orchid continues to captivate and inspire admiration to this day, a symbol of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
