EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a collection of Columbine hybrids, expertly raised from Aquilegia glandulosa and Aquilegia canadensis at the Royal Gardens of Laeken in Brussels. The intricate and captivating illustration, created by J. de Bosschere and beautifully rendered by Pieter de Pannemaeker, showcases the vibrant colors and unique characteristics of these Columbine hybrids. Aquilegia glandulosa, also known as Rocky Mountain Columbine, is a native North American wildflower, renowned for its delicate, nodding flowers with distinctive spurs. Aquilegia canadensis, or Eastern Columbine, is another native North American species, known for its elegant, bell-shaped blossoms with red, yellow, or white sepals and blue or purple petals. The artful fusion of these two Columbine species has resulted in a captivating array of hybrids, showcased in this exquisite illustration. The Columbines are displayed against a lush, verdant backdrop, their delicate petals unfurling to reveal their intricate nectar spurs. The rich, saturated colors and fine details capture the essence of these beautiful and exotic flowers, transporting the viewer to the verdant gardens of Laeken. This chromolithograph is an exceptional example of the botanical illustration art form, providing a detailed and accurate record of these Columbine hybrids, which were popular in Victorian gardens. The intricate process of chromolithography, which involved the meticulous layering of multiple colors, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vivid images, making this a true masterpiece of botanical art.
