EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph depicts the majestic Kauri tree, Agathis australis (previously known as Dammara australis), a native timber tree hailing from New Zealand. The Kauri tree is a true natural wonder, renowned for its colossal size and grandeur. With an average height of 30-45 meters and a trunk diameter of up to 14 meters, this tree is a sight to behold. The Kauri tree is a coniferous evergreen, characterized by its distinctive needle-like leaves and large, male and female cones. The male cones are small and inconspicuous, while the female cones are large and woody, taking up to 20 years to mature. The tree's resin, known as Kauri gum, is highly prized for its unique properties and was once an essential export for New Zealand. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the exquisite detail and artistry of the 19th-century European horticultural movement. It was produced by the renowned Belgian horticulturists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire for their publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856. The lithograph captures the essence of the Kauri tree, showcasing its intricate bark texture, towering height, and the delicate beauty of its cones. The Kauri tree is a symbol of New Zealand's natural heritage and a reminder of the rich botanical discoveries of the past. This lithograph serves as a window into the world of horticultural exploration and the appreciation of the natural wonders that surround us.
