EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Hyacinth variety, Bouquet Royal, Hyacinthus orientalis. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Hyacinthus orientalis, commonly known as the Oriental Hyacinth, is a bulbous perennial plant native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. This particular cultivar, Bouquet Royal, is renowned for its stunning, vibrant blue-purple hue and rich fragrance. The delicate, elegant blooms are displayed in a graceful, sweeping arrangement, creating a visually captivating bouquet. The intricate details of the Hyacinth's petals, veins, and stamen are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the work of Van Houtte and Lemaires. The artists' mastery of the lithographic process is evident in the rich, vibrant colours and the lifelike quality of the flowers. The publication of "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of botanical illustration. The work showcased a wide variety of exotic and rare plants from Europe and beyond, providing a valuable record of horticultural achievements during the Victorian era. This Hyacinth variety, Bouquet Royal, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the plants that were cultivated during this period and continues to be a favourite among gardeners and flower enthusiasts today. The handcoloured lithograph is a stunning example of the artistry and scientific precision that characterized the work of Van Houtte and Lemaires. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world, and the role that horticulture plays in enriching our lives.
