1795 Alstroemeria Flowered Pla Nts Spotted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print of Alstroemeria Pelegrina, or Spotted-Flowered Alstroemeria, is a historical treasure from the annals of botanical illustration. Dating back to 1795, this beautiful image captures the essence of this enchanting South American plant in all its splendor. Alstroemeria Pelegrina, a member of the Alstroemeriaceae family, is native to the Andes Mountains in Chile and Peru. The plant was first discovered by the Swedish botanist Clas Alströmer in 1753 during his expedition to South America. However, it was not until 1795 that this particular variety was accurately depicted in botanical illustration. The print showcases the plant's striking spotted flowers, which are a delightful contrast of white petals dotted with red and purple spots. The flowers grow in dense, elongated spikes that can reach up to 30 centimeters in height. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, growing in rosettes at the base of the stem. The botanical illustration was produced during a time when the study of plants was a burgeoning scientific pursuit. Botanical prints like this one were essential for the advancement of botanical knowledge, as they allowed for the accurate documentation and dissemination of new plant discoveries. This print, in particular, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the botanical illustrator. The print's historical significance is further enhanced by its provenance from Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical images. The library's extensive collection of botanical prints is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural world. This particular print is a rare and beautiful example of the botanical illustration of the late 18th century, and a reminder of the rich history of plant discovery and documentation.
