Anthony Cultivar Exotic Foliage Goffart Horticole Hybrid Japonica Lillustration Linden Lucien Spiraea Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Spiraea japonica cultivar, Anthony Waterer, a beautiful hybrid that showcases the best of this beloved shrub's tropical allure. The image, created by J. Goffart for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1894, captures the lush foliage and delicate blooms of this cultivar in vibrant detail. Spiraea japonica, also known as the Japanese Spiraea, is a popular ornamental shrub native to East Asia. Known for its graceful arching branches and clusters of small, pink or white flowers, it is a favorite among gardeners for its ability to thrive in various climates and soil types. The Anthony Waterer cultivar, with its unique combination of dark green leaves and richly hued blooms, adds an extra touch of exotic charm to any garden setting. Chromolithography, a printing technique that emerged in the late 19th century, allowed for the production of detailed and vivid botanical illustrations like this one. The process involved creating separate plates for each color, which were then layered and printed one at a time to create a final image of exceptional depth and richness. This particular lithograph by J. Goffart showcases the artist's mastery of the technique, resulting in a stunning representation of the Anthony Waterer cultivar that remains as captivating today as it was over a century ago.
