EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Tiger-like Stanhopea Orchid, Stanhopea tigrina. Originally published in the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in 1851, this image captures the captivating allure of this rare and exotic orchid. The Tiger-like Stanhopea Orchid, also known as Stanhopea superba, is native to the cloud forests of Central and South America. Its name derives from its striking resemblance to a tiger, with its vibrant orange and black markings adorning its petals and sepals. The orchid's labellum, or lip, is a unique feature, resembling a tiger's paw with its distinctive black claws. The intricate details of the orchid's petals and veins are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, providing a vivid and lifelike representation of the plant. The delicate shading and precise colouring add depth and texture, bringing out the intricacies of the orchid's structure. The Tiger-like Stanhopea Orchid was a prized possession for horticulturists and collectors during the Victorian era, and this lithograph would have been a cherished addition to any botanical collection. Today, it serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the important role that horticulture played in the scientific and artistic exploration of the 19th century.
