EDITORS COMMENTS
(Universal Horticultural Exhibition of Brussels, 1864) was a major international horticultural event held in the Belgian capital. This stunning illustration, created by the renowned lithographer Florimond van Loo in 1865, provides a captivating glimpse into the grandeur of the exhibition. The image, produced for Charles Baltet's publication "L'horticulture en Belgique: son enseignement, ses institutions, son organisation officielle" (Horticulture in Belgium: its teaching, its institutions, its official organization), showcases the meticulously planned layout of the event. The exhibition took place in the Parc du Cinquantenaire, which can be seen in the background of the image. The intricate design of the exhibition grounds is evident, with winding paths leading to various pavilions and glasshouses, each showcasing an array of exotic and rare plants from around the world. Visitors can be seen strolling along the paths, taking in the vibrant colors and lush greenery. The pavilions, adorned with national flags, represent various countries and their horticultural achievements. The grand pavilion at the center, with its impressive dome, is the Palais des Glaces (Palace of Glass), which housed the most exotic and rare plants from the colonial possessions of the participating countries. The Exposition Universelle d'Horticulture de Bruxelles, 1864, was a testament to the global exchange of knowledge and the advancement of horticulture. The exhibition attracted visitors from all corners of the world and served as a source of inspiration for horticulturists and gardeners alike. This beautiful lithograph by Florimond van Loo captures the essence of the event, offering a glimpse into a time when the world came together to celebrate the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
