EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of Hippeastrum reticulatum, also known as Amaryllis reticulata vittata. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Hippeastrum reticulatum, a hybrid of the Amaryllis family, is renowned for its unique and intricately patterned leaves. The leaves, as depicted in this lithograph, exhibit a reticulated or netted pattern, with thin, dark veins creating a mesmerizing design against the lush green background. The plant's large, elegant blooms, not visible in this illustration, are typically white with red or pink spots, adding to its allure. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is evident in the delicate shading and precise colouring, which brings the plant to life on the page. The image is a testament to the artists' skill and the dedication of the horticultural community during the Victorian era to document and preserve the beauty of exotic plants. Hippeastrum reticulatum is a bulbous perennial that originated in South America, specifically in the Andes Mountains. It has become a popular ornamental plant due to its striking appearance and ease of cultivation. The plant's popularity is reflected in its inclusion in this esteemed horticultural publication, which showcases the most desirable and exotic plants of the time.
