EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a begonia hybrid, specifically named Begonia hybrida 'Festiva,' which was raised by M. Crousse in Nancy, France. The exquisite detail in this print is a testament to the meticulous work of the illustrator, J. de Bosschere, and the skillful hand of the lithographer, Pieter de Pannemaeker. The image was published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, a renowned botanical publication based in Brussels, in 1896. Begonias are tropical and exotic plants known for their vibrant colors and lush foliage. This particular hybrid, 'Festiva,' showcases an array of rich hues, from deep red to vibrant orange, creating a visually captivating display. The intricate patterns on the leaves and the delicate petals add to the allure of this beautiful plant. The process of creating this chromolithograph involved multiple stones, each coated with a different color, allowing for a high level of detail and color accuracy. The result is a stunning representation of the Begonia hybrid 'Festiva,' which continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and intricacy over a century after its publication. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of preserving and showcasing the natural world's beauty. The Begonia hybrid 'Festiva' raised by F. Crousse of Nancy remains an enduring symbol of the dedication and passion that drives horticulturists and botanical illustrators to explore and document the wonders of the plant kingdom.
