EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Chinese primrose, Primula sinensis var., a beautiful cultivar raised by the renowned British nursery Cannell Sons of Swanley. The image, created by the skilled hand of Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker, was published in Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration, a prestigious horticultural journal based in Brussels in 1885. The Chinese primrose, also known as the Chinese cowslip, is a tropical and exotic plant that belongs to the Primulaceae family. This particular cultivar boasts vibrant, velvety petals that range in color from deep pink to rich red, with a golden yellow center. The delicate, bell-shaped flowers bloom in clusters, adding a splash of color to any garden or greenhouse. The intricate details of the Chinese primrose's petals and leaves are expertly captured in this lithograph, showcasing the meticulous artistry of de Pannemaeker. The background features a lush, green foliage, further emphasizing the beauty and allure of this exotic plant. The Chinese primrose was a popular addition to Victorian-era gardens, as it represented the fascination with the exotic and the far-off lands of the East. Today, it remains a beloved plant among horticulturists and garden enthusiasts, and continues to captivate us with its enchanting blooms. This botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill and dedication of de Pannemaeker and Linden, but also to the enduring allure of the natural world and the plants that inhabit it.
