EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Sumatra Phalaenopsis Orchid, Phalaenopsis sumatrana. Originally published in the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in 1867-1868, this image is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The Sumatra Phalaenopsis Orchid, native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, is a stunning epiphyte that thrives in humid conditions. Its large, pendulous flowers bloom in a breathtaking array of colors, from white to pink and purple, with intricate patterns and veining. The delicate petals and sepals are adorned with subtle texture and detail, creating an ethereal and otherworldly appearance. The lithograph itself is a work of art, with meticulous attention paid to every detail of the orchid's form and coloration. The background is a lush, verdant green, evoking the lush tropical environment in which the Sumatra Phalaenopsis Orchid thrives. The delicate veining and texture of the petals and sepals are rendered with exquisite precision, and the overall effect is one of both realism and romance. As a collectible piece of horticultural history, this handcoloured lithograph is a must-have for any orchid enthusiast or botanical art aficionado. It offers a glimpse into the past, when the discovery and cultivation of exotic plants was a source of great fascination and inspiration for horticulturists and artists alike. Today, it serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the natural world and the beauty that can be found in even the smallest of details.
