Camellia Exotic Foliage Horticole Hybrid Japonica Lillustration Linden Lucien Madame Pannemaeker Tropical Lemonnier

EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Lemonnier" is a stunning camellia hybrid, specifically a Camellia japonica, which was first introduced to the horticultural world in the late 19th century. This beautiful camellia is depicted in this exquisite chromolithograph by P. de Pannemaeker, created for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1883. The intricate details of the camellia's lush foliage and vibrant blooms are expertly captured in this lithographic print. The Camellia japonica is a tropical plant that is native to Japan, and it is renowned for its elegant and showy flowers. Madame Lemonnier is a hybrid variety that boasts large, velvety, and fragrant white blooms with a striking yellow center. The glossy, dark-green leaves of the plant are also featured prominently in this illustration, adding to the overall beauty and allure of the camellia. Chromolithography was a popular method of printing during the late 19th century, and it allowed for the production of detailed and colorful botanical illustrations. This technique involved the transfer of an image from a drawing or painting onto a series of lithographic stones, each of which was coated with a different color ink. The image was then printed using a press, resulting in a high-quality, detailed, and vibrant image. This beautiful and intricate chromolithograph of Madame Lemonnier is a testament to the artistry and skill of the botanical illustrators and printers of the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the fascination and appreciation for exotic and tropical plants that was prevalent during this time, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and beauty today.
