EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicts Rhododendron fulgens, a vibrant and captivating rhododendron species native to the Western Ghats of India. The illustration was created between 1849 and 1851 by renowned botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch, based on a sketch by the esteemed botanist Joseph Hooker. During the 19th century, botanical exploration and documentation were at the forefront of scientific discovery. This exquisite lithograph is a testament to the meticulous work of Fitch and Hooker, who dedicated their time and expertise to accurately recording the natural world. Rhododendron fulgens is a member of the Ericaceae family, which is part of the larger group of flowering plants known as the Angiospermae or Eudicots. This particular species is notable for its striking red flowers, which bloom in clusters. The plant's scientific name, Rhododendron fulgens, derives from the Greek words "rhodon," meaning rose, and "dendron," meaning tree. The intricate details of the Rhododendron fulgens in this lithograph are a marvel to behold. From the veins on the leaves to the delicate petals of the flower, every detail has been carefully rendered, showcasing the artists' skill and dedication. The rich red hues of the flowers are particularly noteworthy, adding a vibrant pop of color to the illustration. This historical piece not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important record of the natural world during a time when botanical exploration was at its height. The Rhododendron fulgens lithograph by Walter Hood Fitch, based on a sketch by Joseph Hooker, is a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world and the dedication of those who sought to document it.
