EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Ludisia discolor orchid, also known as Anoectochilus dawsonianus or Anoectochylus dawsonianus. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," authored by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Ludisia discolor is a captivating orchid native to the Malay Archipelago. Its unique appearance sets it apart from other orchids, with its small, waxy, heart-shaped leaves and delicate, white and green flowers adorned with purple stripes. The plant's leaves are arranged in rosettes, creating a compact and attractive growth habit. Orchids were a source of fascination for horticulturists and botanists during the 19th century, and the publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant contribution to the field. This detailed and accurate record of the Ludisia discolor orchid allowed hobbyists and collectors to learn about and cultivate this exotic plant in their own gardens. The hand-colored lithograph technique used to create this image adds an additional layer of beauty and intrigue to the already stunning Ludisia discolor orchid. The meticulous application of color by skilled artists brings out the subtle details and nuances of the plant, making this a true work of art as well as a valuable botanical record.
