EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Cymbidium hookerianum: A Regal Blossom from the Past". This exquisite chromolithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Cymbidium hookerianum orchid, a rare and elegant bloom that once graced the pages of Harriet Stewart Miner's groundbreaking book, "Orchids, the Royal Family of Plants," published by Lee & Shepard in Boston in 1885. This stunning representation of the orchid was produced by the Hatch Company, based on a meticulous botanical illustration by Miner herself, making it a testament to her dedication and expertise in documenting these enchanting plants. As the first American color plate book on orchids, "Orchids, the Royal Family of Plants" was a trailblazing achievement for Miner, a woman who defied societal expectations and made significant contributions to the field of botanical illustration. The Cymbidium hookerianum orchid, with its graceful, cascading petals and captivating fragrance, embodies the regal allure and rarity that earned orchids their moniker as the "Royal Family of Plants." This chromolithograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of orchids as it was discovered and documented over a century ago. Harriet Stewart Miner's dedication to capturing the essence of orchids through her artistry and her pioneering work in producing the first American color plate book on these enchanting plants cemented her place in the annals of botanical history. This Cymbidium hookerianum orchid chromolithograph is a testament to her passion, skill, and the enduring allure of these remarkable flowers.
