EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Paphiopedilum dayanum orchid, also known as the Lady's Slipper Orchid or Dayanum Orchid. Originally discovered in the lush rainforests of Borneo in the late 19th century, this rare and captivating orchid is a true masterpiece of nature. The intricate details of its unique features are brilliantly captured in this stunning botanical illustration from the renowned horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium between 1862 and 1865. The meticulous hand-coloring technique brings out the vibrant hues of the orchid's petals, which range from soft pink to deep burgundy, and its distinctive lip, which resembles a lady's slipper with a delicate pouch. The Paphiopedilum dayanum orchid is known for its ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the year, producing several flowers at a time. Its roots are epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants or trees, and it thrives in warm, humid environments. This orchid has long been a favorite among collectors and horticulturists for its allure and rarity. This botanical illustration is not only a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of horticulture and botanical exploration during the Victorian era. The meticulous attention to detail and the artistry of the hand-coloring technique make this a truly unique and valuable piece of botanical history.
