EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Treyeran, a striking and exotic beauty among tropical plants, is depicted in this beautiful chromolithograph by Pieter de Pannemaeker, based on an original illustration by A. Goossens from Jean Linden's "Illustration Horticole," published in Brussels in 1896. The plant in question is a Bertolonia hybrid, specifically named after Madame Treyeran in honor of its discoverer. Bertolonia, also known as Bertonerila, is a rare and fascinating species of flowering plant native to Central and South America. Its lush, vibrant foliage is the main attraction in this image, with large, glossy leaves unfurling in rich greens and reds. The plant's name is derived from the Bertoni family, who were prominent botanists and explorers in South America during the late 19th century. The Bertolonia hybrid Madame Treyeran was likely discovered and named during this time, and its unique appearance quickly captured the attention of horticulturists and plant enthusiasts around the world. This chromolithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the enduring allure of exotic plants and the artistry of the botanical illustrators of the time. The process of creating this image involved the transfer of ink from a series of lithographic stones, each containing a different color, onto a sheet of paper. The result is a richly layered and detailed image that brings the beauty of Madame Treyeran to life. Today, this rare and beautiful plant remains a prized addition to the collections of botanical gardens and plant enthusiasts around the world, a living testament to the enduring fascination with the exotic and unusual.
