EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Hyacinth cultivar, Lord Melville (Hyacinthus orientalis). The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" (Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Hyacinth, a bulbous perennial plant, is renowned for its vibrant spring blooms. The Lord Melville cultivar is particularly noteworthy for its rich, deep blue hue and elegant, recurved petals. The intricate details of the flower's veining and texture are expertly captured in this beautiful illustration. Hyacinths were a popular addition to European gardens during the 19th century, and their cultivation was a source of great pride for horticulturists. This botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also highlights the importance of horticulture in European society during this period. The delicate balance of colour and form in this image invites the viewer to appreciate the natural beauty of the Hyacinth cultivar, Lord Melville, and the artistry of its creators.
