EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite lithograph depicts the distinctive cones of the Cilician fir, or Abies cilicica, a native conifer species found in the Mediterranean region, specifically in the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey and northern Syria. The Cilician fir is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree, with slender, blue-green needles that grow in dense clusters. The cones, as shown in this image, are unique in their elongated shape and pointed bracts, which give them a distinctive, middle eastern character. The Cilician fir is an important component of the Mediterranean forest ecosystem and is valued for its aesthetic and horticultural qualities. It has been cultivated in Europe since the 18th century, and was a popular ornamental tree in the gardens and hothouses of the European aristocracy. This lithograph, from the seminal work "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1856, captures the elegance and intricacy of the Cilician fir cone in stunning detail. The artists' meticulous attention to the cone's form and texture, as well as the delicate shading and tonal variations, make this a truly beautiful and captivating image. The Cilician fir cone, with its distinctive shape and allure, continues to be a source of inspiration for botanical artists and horticulturists alike.
