EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of the Hybrid Waterlily Tulip (Tulipa kaufmanniana x maculate tulip, Tulipa greigii), a rare and captivating cross between three distinct tulip species. Created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, this illustration is a masterpiece from William R. Dykes' Notes on Tulip Species, published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London during 1930. The Hybrid Waterlily Tulip is a testament to the art of horticultural hybridization, combining the best traits from Tulipa kaufmanniana, Tulipa maculate, and Tulipa greigii. The result is a unique and mesmerizing bloom that boasts the velvety texture and vibrant colors of the waterlily tulip, the intricate patterns of the maculate tulip, and the delicate elegance of the greigii tulip. Elsie Katherine Dykes' illustration captures the essence of this hybrid tulip in meticulous detail, with each petal, vein, and speck expertly rendered in rich, vibrant colors. The artist's keen observational skills and dedication to botanical accuracy are evident in every line and shade, making this a valuable addition to any botanical collection. As a silkscreen print, this illustration showcases the unique textures and intricacies of the Hybrid Waterlily Tulip in a way that traditional drawing methods may not be able to achieve. The inks used in the print process allow for a wide range of colors and tones, resulting in a vivid and lifelike representation of the subject matter. This illustration is not only a testament to the artistry of Elsie Katherine Dykes, but also to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical exploration and documentation, and the role that illustrations play in preserving and celebrating the natural world for future generations.
