EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the maculate tulip hybrids, specifically the cross between Tulipa greigii and Tulipa kaufmanniana, also known as the waterlily tulip. The illustration is a masterpiece by the talented botanical artist, Elsie Katherine Dykes, from her noted work, "William R. Dykes Notes on Tulip Species," published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London during 1930. The maculate tulip, Tulipa greigii, is a rare and striking species native to Central Asia, characterized by its unique mottled and speckled petals. In this illustration, Dykes expertly captures the intricate details of the maculate tulip's petals, showcasing their delicate texture and subtle variations in color. The waterlily tulip, Tulipa kaufmanniana, is another beautiful and uncommon tulip species, recognized for its distinctive large, waterlily-like leaves. In this hybrid, the waterlily tulip's vibrant colors and bold foliage have combined with the maculate tulip's speckled petals to create a stunning and unique flower. Dykes' illustration technique, using the silkscreen process, allowed her to capture the intricacies of these hybrid tulips in remarkable detail, with each petal and leaf rendered with precision and artistry. The result is a visually stunning and educational work that showcases the beauty and diversity of the tulip family. This illustration is not only a testament to Dykes' skill as a botanical artist but also serves as a valuable record of these rare and beautiful tulip hybrids. It is a must-have for any botanical art collection or tulip enthusiast's library.
