EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the new hybrid Anthurium salmoneum, also known as the Flamingo Flower. The image was created by Pieter de Pannemaeker, based on an original illustration by A. Goossens, and was published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, a renowned botanical publication based in Brussels in 1895. The Anthurium salmoneum is a beautiful and exotic plant, hailing from tropical regions. Its unique features have made it a popular addition to botanical collections and greenhouses around the world. The flower takes its name from its striking resemblance to the flamingo, with its vibrant red spathe and white spadix, which are reminiscent of the bright colors of the flamingo's legs and feathers. Chromolithography was a popular method for producing high-quality, detailed botanical illustrations during the late 19th century. The process involved creating a series of lithographic plates, each one color, which were then overlaid to create a final image with a rich, vibrant color palette. The result was a stunningly accurate representation of the plant, with every detail captured in exquisite detail. This particular chromolithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and printers involved in its creation. The intricate veining on the leaves, the delicate folds of the spathe, and the delicate details of the flower are all rendered with remarkable precision and beauty. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art as well as an accurate record of this fascinating and exotic plant.
