Carnation Caryophyllus Cultivar Dianthus Exotic Goossens Horticole Hybrid Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Pride Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful chromolithograph depicts the Carnation hybrid, Pride of Great Britain, a stunning yellow variety of the Souvenir de la Malmaison. The intricately detailed illustration was created by A. Goossens and expertly rendered in chromolithography by P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1894. The Carnation, scientifically known as Dianthus caryophyllus, is a popular and beloved flower for its vibrant colors and sweet fragrance. This hybrid, Pride of Great Britain, adds a touch of exotic elegance with its bright yellow petals and dark red edges. The name Souvenir de la Malmaison refers to the Malmaison Palace in France, where the original white variety of this carnation was discovered in the gardens in the early 19th century. Chromolithography was a popular method for producing high-quality botanical illustrations during the late 19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a rich and detailed image. The result was a vibrant and lifelike representation of the subject matter, making this technique ideal for capturing the beauty and intricacy of flowers such as the Pride of Great Britain carnation. This illustration not only showcases the beauty of this Carnation hybrid but also serves as a snapshot of botanical illustration during the late 19th century. The attention to detail and the use of chromolithography to bring the image to life make this a truly stunning and valuable addition to any botanical collection.
