EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Golden Arum or Calla Lily, Zantedeschia elliottiana. The intricately detailed image, created by Pieter de Pannemaeker based on an illustration from Jean Linden's Horticole, published in Brussels in 1896, showcases the exotic beauty and allure of this tropical plant. The Golden Arum, also known as Calla elliottiana, is a member of the Araceae family and is native to South Africa. Its vibrant golden coloration sets it apart from other calla lilies, making it a true standout in any garden or botanical collection. The large, funnel-shaped spathe and spadix are encircled by a collar of golden-yellow petal-like structures, adding to its allure and exotic charm. The chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing high-quality, color prints during the late 19th century, allowed for the intricate details of the Golden Arum to be captured in stunning detail. The rich, vibrant colors and lifelike textures bring the plant to life, making this a true work of art. This botanical illustration not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece, but also as an important record of the Golden Arum's unique beauty and historical significance. The use of the chromolithograph process allowed for the widespread dissemination of botanical knowledge, making it accessible to a wider audience and contributing to the advancement of horticulture and botanical science during this period.
