Anthurium scherzerianum, Madame Emile Bertrand Variety: A Vibrant Tropical Exotic in 19th Century Botanical Illustration This stunning chromolithograph depicts the captivating Anthurium scherzerianum, specifically the Madame Emile Bertrand variety. Anthurium scherzerianum, also known as Anthurium schertzerianum, is a native of Central and South America, where it thrives in the humid rainforests. This beautiful plant is renowned for its large, heart-shaped, waxy, and colorful spathes, which surround the small spadix that bears the actual flowers. The Madame Emile Bertrand variety, named after a French horticulturist, showcases an extraordinary combination of rich, velvety green foliage and vibrant, fiery red spathes, adding a touch of exotic allure to any setting. The intricate details and lifelike representation of the plant in this chromolithograph are a testament to the exceptional skill and artistry of the Belgian botanical illustrator, Jean Linden, and the lithographer, P. de Pannemaeker. This illustration, published in Linden's Horticole Illustration series in Brussels in 1882, offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century botanical exploration and the fascination with tropical plants. The intricate details, vivid colors, and meticulous shading bring the Anthurium scherzerianum to life, captivating the attention of botanists, collectors, and plant enthusiasts alike. The Anthurium scherzerianum, Madame Emile Bertrand variety, continues to be a popular choice for hobbyists and gardeners today, who appreciate its exotic beauty and the challenge of cultivating this tropical plant in cooler climates. This chromolithograph serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these exotic plants and the role that botanical illustrations played in the dissemination of plant knowledge during the 19th century.
