EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Thorn Apple, or Datura innoxia (also known as Datura meteloides), a beautiful yet intriguing night-blooming plant native to Mexico. The image, taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1857, captures the plant's unique features in exquisite detail. The Thorn Apple, also known as the Moonflower, is renowned for its large, bell-shaped, fragrant white flowers that open only at night, attracting moths and other pollinators. The plant's name derives from its distinctive, spiny fruit, which resembles an apple with thorns. These fruits are toxic and contain powerful hallucinogenic alkaloids, making the Thorn Apple a plant of both beauty and intrigue. The intricate details of the plant's veins, petals, and thorns are expertly rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the artists' mastery of the medium. The rich, vibrant colours bring the Thorn Apple to life, making it a true work of art. This image provides a glimpse into the world of exotic plants that were being discovered and cultivated during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the fascination and wonder that these plants held for horticulturists and naturalists of the time, and continues to inspire curiosity and admiration today.
