EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured botanical print showcases the stunning Disa lacera var. multifida, a native blue orchid from Cape Town, South Africa. The illustration was meticulously drawn by Matilda Smith and beautifully lithographed by E. Bates for the prestigious Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1889. Published by L. Reeve & Co, this historical record captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this enchanting orchid species. The Disa lacera var. multifida, also known as the Blue Disa or Cape Disa, is a rare and endemic orchid found in the mountainous regions of the Western Cape in South Africa. With its distinctive blue-violet labellum and white sepals, this orchid is a true beauty that has captivated botanists and nature enthusiasts for generations. Matilda Smith was a talented botanical artist who contributed numerous illustrations to the Curtis Botanical Magazine during the late 19th century. Her precise and detailed drawings were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit. E. Bates, the skilled lithographer, expertly translated Smith's illustrations into lithographic prints, ensuring that the intricacies of the Disa lacera var. multifida were faithfully reproduced. This historical botanical print not only serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the late 19th century but also highlights the importance of preserving the natural beauty of the world around us. The Disa lacera var. multifida remains a cherished symbol of the unique and diverse flora found in Cape Town and South Africa.
