EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Dancing Lady Orchid, Oncidium tigrinum (previously known as Oncidium barkerianum), captured in exquisite detail by the skilled hand of Harriet Stewart Miner. The image is taken from the groundbreaking first American color plate book on orchids, "Orchids, the Royal Family of Plants," published by Lee & Shepard in Boston in 1885. Miner, a trailblazing woman botanist, created this beautiful illustration, which was then brought to life in vibrant color by the Hatch Company. The Dancing Lady Orchid, with its graceful, arching blooms and intricate, tiger-like patterns, is a true testament to the beauty and diversity of the orchid family. This work of art not only showcases the elegance of this exquisite flower but also highlights the remarkable achievements of Miner, a pioneering figure in the field of botanical illustration.
