EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Gardeniaeflora azalea, also known as Rhododendron indicum and the var. Azalea indica, a captivating tropical plant that belongs to the Rhododendron family. The image, created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels during 1882, showcases the plant's exquisite beauty in all its glory. The Gardeniaeflora azalea is a small evergreen shrub, native to the eastern Himalayas, China, and Myanmar. It is renowned for its vibrant, velvety, and fragrant flowers, which bloom in clusters and come in shades of pink, white, and red. The flowers possess an intoxicating aroma, reminiscent of jasmine and gardenias, and are a beloved sight in tropical gardens around the world. The intricate details in this chromolithograph highlight the delicate structure of the azalea's leaves, which are glossy, dark green, and oval-shaped. The stems are adorned with small, red buds that gradually open into the magnificent flowers. The background of the illustration is adorned with lush foliage, adding to the overall allure of this exotic plant. The chromolithograph process, which involved the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to a printing plate using a water-based ink, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vibrant botanical illustrations. This technique was widely used during the 19th century to document and preserve the beauty of the natural world. The Gardeniaeflora azalea continues to be a popular choice for gardeners and plant enthusiasts due to its enchanting appearance and intoxicating fragrance. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this exotic plant and the art of botanical illustration.
