EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Begonia hybrid 'Gloire de Lorraine,' raised by the renowned French nursery V. Lemoine Son in Nancy. The 'Gloire de Lorraine' is a captivating cross between Begonia socotrana and Begonia dregei, showcased in this detailed illustration by A. Goossens for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustrations in Brussels, 1896. Pieter de Pannemaeker masterfully brought this botanical artwork to life through the chromolithograph process. The 'Gloire de Lorraine' Begonia boasts vibrant, richly colored flowers that bloom in abundance, adding a touch of tropical elegance to any garden or indoor setting. Its large, glossy leaves provide a lush, textured backdrop for the brilliant flowers. This hybrid's creation marked a significant achievement in the world of horticulture, demonstrating the skill and dedication of the Lemoine Son nursery in Nancy. The chromolithograph itself is a testament to the artistry and precision of the time, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the Begonia to life. The illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of plant breeding and the beauty that can be achieved through careful crossbreeding. This unique piece of botanical art is a must-have for any gardening enthusiast, horticulturist, or collector of rare and exotic plants.
