EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Cattleya quadricolor, also known as the beautiful cattleya or azucenas. The image is based on a botanical illustration created by Harriet Stewart Miner for the groundbreaking 1885 book "Orchids, the Royal Family of Plants," published by Lee & Shepard in Boston. Miner was an accomplished woman botanist, making her the first American to produce a color plate book on orchids. The Cattleya quadricolor, native to the Choco region of Colombia, is renowned for its captivating beauty. Its large, elegant flowers boast four distinct colors: white, pink, purple, and green. The intricate details of the petals and sepals are masterfully captured in this chromolithograph, showcasing the delicate balance of nature's artistry. The Cattleya quadricolor holds a special place in the world of orchids, symbolizing elegance, rarity, and allure. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the beauty and importance of these remarkable plants, as well as the dedication and innovation of Harriet Stewart Miner in documenting them for future generations to appreciate.
