Chevalier Donner Exotic Horticole Hybrid Lillustration Linden Lucien Madame Pannemaeker Pieter Tropical Clivia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Clivia hybrid, Prince Charles, a beautiful and rare plant that was raised by the renowned Belgian horticulturist, Charles Vermeire. The Clivia hybrid, Prince Charles, is a cross between Clivia Madame Donner and Clivia chevalier Heynderycx. The intricate and detailed illustration was drawn by Pieter de Pannemaeker and chromolithographed by Jean Lindens for Lucien Linden's Horticole, a leading horticultural publication based in Brussels, in 1896. Clivia hybrids, also known as Kaffir lilies, are tropical and exotic plants that are prized for their striking and vibrant flowers. The Clivia Madame Donner, a yellow-flowered Clivia, and Clivia chevalier Heynderycx, a red-flowered Clivia, were carefully crossed by Vermeire to create this unique and beautiful hybrid. The resulting plant, Prince Charles, boasts a stunning combination of both parent plants, with orange-red flowers edged in yellow. The intricate and detailed illustration captures the essence of the Clivia hybrid, Prince Charles, with its lush foliage and vibrant flowers. The chromolithograph process, which involves the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to a printing plate using a water-based ink, allows for rich and vibrant colors, making this illustration a true work of art. This botanical illustration is a testament to the skill and dedication of the horticulturists and illustrators of the late 19th century, who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the beauty of the natural world. The Clivia hybrid, Prince Charles, remains a prized and sought-after plant among collectors and horticulturists today, and this illustration serves as a reminder of its historical significance and beauty.
