EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Codiaeum hybrid, Le Tzar, also known as the Variegated Croton or Codiaeum variegatum. The image was meticulously drawn and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian botanical artist Pieter de Pannemaeker, based on the original illustration by Jean Linden of the Horticole, Brussels, in 1888. The Codiaeum hybrid, Le Tzar, is a captivating tropical plant, known for its vibrant and intricately variegated foliage. Its lush, glossy leaves display a mesmerizing pattern of creamy white, green, and red hues, creating a visually striking contrast against the rich, dark soil. This beautiful plant is a hybrid of the Croton genus, which is native to tropical regions of the world, particularly Africa, Madagascar, and the Americas. The name "Croton" comes from the Greek word "kroton," meaning "junction," referring to the plant's branching structure. The Codiaeum hybrid, Le Tzar, was a popular ornamental plant during the late 19th century, and its allure continues to captivate plant enthusiasts today. Its exotic appearance and easy cultivation made it a staple in Victorian-era greenhouses and conservatories. The artistry of this chromolithograph is evident in the intricate detailing of the leaves and the delicate shading, which brings the plant to life on the page. The use of multiple colors and layers in the chromolithographic process allowed for a level of detail and depth that was unachievable with traditional methods of botanical illustration. This beautiful and intriguing plant continues to be a favorite among plant collectors and enthusiasts, and this stunning chromolithograph is a testament to its enduring allure. With its vibrant foliage and exotic origins, the Codiaeum hybrid, Le Tzar, remains a captivating and beautiful addition to any botanical collection.
