EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the stunning Christmas Bell, Blandfordia cunninghamii, a native Australian plant that blooms during the holiday season. The image is taken from "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," a comprehensive botanical work published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire. The Christmas Bell is a rare and beautiful plant, endemic to Tasmania and Victoria, Australia. Its unique and captivating bell-shaped flowers, which range in color from deep red to pink and white, bloom in late autumn and early winter, making it a fitting holiday plant. The intricate details of the flowers are expertly captured in this chromolithograph, with each petal and vein meticulously rendered in vibrant colors. The lush greenery and delicate tendrils that surround the flowers add to the overall beauty and elegance of the composition. This botanical illustration provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Southern Hemisphere and showcases the artistry and skill of the European botanical community in the late 19th century.
