EDITORS COMMENTS
Graham's Schizanthus, Schizanthus grahamii, is a captivating and exotic flowering plant, as beautifully depicted in this handcoloured lithograph from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. Published in Ghent, Belgium in 1851, this botanical illustration showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of Graham's schizanthus, a species of Schizanthus native to Chile. The Schizanthus genus, also known as the "night-fragrant" or "painted tongue" flowers, is known for its unique nocturnal fragrance and distinctive, tubular, two-lipped flowers. Schizanthus grahamii, in particular, boasts velvety, burgundy-purple petals edged in white, with a striking, contrasting yellow throat. The plant's elegant, slender stems bear clusters of these enchanting blooms, which open in the evening to release their alluring scent. This handcoloured lithograph, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of its creators, offers a stunning representation of Graham's schizanthus in its full glory. The intricate veining on the leaves, the delicate shading on the petals, and the precise detailing of the plant's structure all contribute to a captivating and lifelike image. As a valuable addition to any botanical collection or horticultural library, this chromolithograph not only showcases the beauty of Graham's schizanthus but also serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of its creators.
