EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Chinese Cymbidium Orchid, Cymbidium sinense. The intricate details of the orchid's petals, sepals, and labellum are masterfully captured in this artwork, created by George Cooke after George Loddiges in 1817. The image is part of the Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet collection, which was a significant source of botanical knowledge during the Victorian era. The Chinese Cymbidium Orchid, also known as the Boat Orchid due to the shape of its labellum, is native to China, Taiwan, and Japan. It is known for its elegant, fragrant flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, purple, and white. The orchid's petals are often described as having a waxy texture, and its labellum is characterized by its distinctive boat-shaped structure. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the rich history of orchid cultivation and appreciation during the 19th century. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver and the botanical knowledge of the time. The Chinese Cymbidium Orchid remains a popular choice among orchid enthusiasts today, and this artwork serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of these magnificent plants.
