EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration depicts the Reverend Forbes Oncidium, Hook var. Atratum, a rare and exotic orchid species. The illustration was drawn by the skilled hand of Charles de Bruyne and meticulously chromolithographed by Paul de Pannemaeker for the publication "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels, Belgium, in 1902. The Reverend Forbes Oncidium is named after the Scottish botanist and horticulturist, Reverend John Forbes (1816-1876), who made significant contributions to the study and cultivation of orchids during the late 19th century. Hook var. Atratum is a beautiful and intricately patterned orchid, with long, arching leaves and vibrant, dark-colored flowers. The illustration captures the orchid's delicate beauty and intricacies, providing a window into the tropical world of exotic flora. The hothouse environment in which the orchid thrived was a testament to the advanced botanical knowledge and techniques of the time. The publication of "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids" marked a significant moment in the history of botanical illustration, showcasing the stunning diversity of orchid species and advancing scientific understanding of these fascinating plants. The collaboration between de Bruyne and de Pannemaeker resulted in a visually stunning and accurate record of the Reverend Forbes Oncidium, Hook var. Atratum, which remains an enduring testament to their skill and dedication to botanical exploration.
