EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the elegant Green Bean or Haricot, Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. lucasianus (syn. Phaseolus compressus lucasianus), from the renowned horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. Published in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868, this work showcased the most beautiful and rare plant species cultivated during the Victorian era. The Green Bean, also known as the French Bean or the File Bean, is a variety of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris. However, unlike its counterpart, this bean is characterized by its slender, elongated shape and vibrant green color. The plant is a trailing vine, with delicate, heart-shaped leaves and clusters of small, pink flowers. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this lithograph are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the artists and printers involved in the production of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe." The botanical accuracy and artistic beauty of the image make it an invaluable resource for both horticulturalists and art enthusiasts. The Green Bean was a popular cultivar during the Victorian era, and was often grown in the gardens of the wealthy and the aristocracy. Its elegant appearance and delicious flavor made it a staple in both ornamental and culinary gardens. Today, this variety is still grown for both purposes, and is appreciated for its unique characteristics and rich history. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the cultivation and appreciation of exotic and rare plants was a source of great pride and enjoyment. The intricate details of the Green Bean lithograph serve as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and the importance of preserving and celebrating it for future generations.
