EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of an Azalea hybrid, specifically a Rhododendron indicum cross, as depicted in the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe) published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The work is a collaboration between renowned horticulturists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Azalea in this print, often referred to as a Satsuki azalea, is a hybrid of the Rhododendron indicum species, native to East Asia. The hybrid's vibrant, richly-hued blooms are a testament to the skillful breeding techniques of the time. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamens are masterfully captured in the lithographic process, revealing the delicate elegance of the flower. Leonie van Houtte, the daughter of Louis van Houtte, is believed to have been the inspiration behind the name of this particular hybrid. The Azalea's captivating allure and refined appearance have made it a popular choice for horticulturists and garden enthusiasts alike. The publication of "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" marked a significant milestone in the documentation and dissemination of horticultural knowledge during the Victorian era. This stunning Azalea hybrid print is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in capturing the essence of the gardens and hothouses of Europe, providing a window into the world of beautiful and exotic plants that graced the gardens of the time.
