EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Oeillet Louis Napoleon carnation hybrid, a beloved flower from the Dianthus genus, specifically Dianthus caryophyllus. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868. The Oeillet Louis Napoleon carnation hybrid is a testament to the remarkable advancements in horticulture during the 19th century. Its vibrant, velvety petals radiate a rich, deep red hue, contrasting beautifully with the delicate, ruffled edges that give this flower its distinctive character. The intricate detailing of the lithograph allows us to appreciate the intricacies of the carnation's form, from the delicate veins on its petals to the delicate, green calyx at its base. The Oeillet Louis Napoleon carnation hybrid was a popular choice for hothouse cultivation during the Victorian era, and its inclusion in this esteemed horticultural publication speaks to its significance and allure. The lithograph not only serves as a stunning visual representation of this beloved flower but also as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticulturists and artists who brought it to life. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the cultivation and appreciation of exotic, beautiful flowers was a source of great pride and pleasure. The Oeillet Louis Napoleon carnation hybrid remains a cherished flower today, and this lithograph serves as a reminder of its rich history and enduring charm.
