EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Winter hazel, Corylopsis spicata, also known as tosamizuki in Japan. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874. The Winter hazel is a small, deciduous shrub native to eastern Asia, specifically in China, Japan, and Korea. It is renowned for its early blooming yellow flowers, which appear in late winter, often before the leaves emerge, hence the common name. These flowers bring a burst of color and life to the otherwise dormant winter landscape. The intricate details of the Winter hazel's flowers are beautifully captured in this lithograph, with each petal and vein delicately rendered in color. The background features an elegant Japanese landscape, with a serene pond, a bridge, and cherry blossom trees, further enhancing the ethereal quality of the image. The Winter hazel was a popular ornamental plant in European gardens during the late 19th century, and this illustration would have been a cherished addition to any botanical collection. Today, it remains a beloved plant among gardeners and horticulturists, and this stunning image serves as a testament to its timeless beauty and appeal.
