EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Hawthorn, Crataegus rhipidophylla, also known as C. oxycantha filicifolia, a beautiful and intricately detailed botanical illustration from the hallowed halls of European horticulture. The image is taken from the esteemed work "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874. The Hawthorn, Crataegus rhipidophylla, is a stunning member of the rose family, with its elegant, serrated leaves and clusters of delicate white flowers. The botanical illustration captures the intricacies of the plant's veins, the subtle variations in leaf shape, and the delicate petals of its blossoms. The handcolouring adds a richness and depth to the image, making the Hawthorn appear as if it could leap off the page and bloom before your very eyes. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant achievement in the world of botanical illustration, showcasing the finest specimens from Europe's most prestigious gardens and hothouses. The work was produced during a time when the study and cultivation of exotic plants was a source of great fascination and pride for European horticulturists and naturalists. This Hawthorn illustration is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and scientists who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the natural world for future generations. Today, the Hawthorn remains a cherished plant in gardens and landscapes around the world, its beauty and resilience continuing to inspire awe and admiration. This stunning botanical illustration serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical art plays in documenting and celebrating the natural world, and the enduring allure of the plants that surround us.
