EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of Laelia grandis var. Tenebrosa sub-var. superbiens, a rare and exotic orchid species. The illustration, drawn by the renowned Belgian botanical artist C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker, is taken from Lucien Linden's seminal work "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels in 1902. The Laelia grandis var. Tenebrosa sub-var. superbiens is a mesmerizing orchid that thrives in tropical hothouses. Its dark, velvety petals, which are a deep shade of burgundy with purple stripes, contrast beautifully with its golden-yellow labellum. The intricate details of the orchid's structure are expertly captured in the illustration, revealing the delicate balance of form and function that characterizes this enchanting plant. The history of orchid cultivation and documentation is a rich and fascinating one, and Lucien Linden's "Iconography of Orchids" is an essential contribution to this field. The work was produced during a time when orchids were considered the epitome of luxury and rarity, and the meticulous attention to detail in the illustrations reflects the great care and admiration that was devoted to these exotic flowers. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when orchids were a source of wonder and inspiration for botanists, artists, and collectors alike. The Laelia grandis var. Tenebrosa sub-var. superbiens remains a captivating and elusive beauty, and this illustration serves as a testament to its enduring allure.
