Exotic Ferd Gloxinia Goossens Grandiflora Horticole Hybrid Hybrida Large Flowered Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Pieter Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a Large-flowered gloxinia hybrid (Gloxinia hybrida grandiflora), a beautiful tropical plant that was raised by the renowned horticulturist Ferd. Kegeljan. The illustration was created by A. Goossens and masterfully brought to life through the chromolithographic technique by Pieter de Pannemaeker, as published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, Brussels, 1895. The Large-flowered gloxinia hybrid is a testament to the horticultural advancements of the late 19th century, showcasing the captivating allure of exotic plants. With its large, vibrant blooms, this hybrid is a true marvel of nature. The intricately detailed illustration reveals the delicate petals, veining, and various shades of color that make up the flower, while the lush foliage and sturdy stem provide a robust contrast. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing color prints during this era, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and accurate botanical illustrations. The technique involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a rich and vibrant image. In this case, the result is an exquisite representation of the Large-flowered gloxinia hybrid that transports us to a lush, tropical paradise. This print serves as a reminder of the fascination and wonder that botanical discoveries held during the late 1800s, as well as the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
