Amaryllis Bosschere Exotic Hippeastrum Horticole Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Pieter Tropical

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Hippeastrum stylosum, also known as the Christmas Amaryllis or the Peruvian Amaryllis, in all its glory. The intricately detailed illustration is the work of J. de Bosschere, with the lithography expertly executed by Pieter de Pannemaeker, as published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, Brussels, 1896. The Hippeastrum stylosum is a tropical bulbous plant, native to South America, specifically Peru and Ecuador. This beautiful flowering plant is renowned for its large, showy, and fragrant flowers that bloom during the holiday season, earning it the moniker "Christmas Amaryllis." Each flower boasts six petals, which can range in color from white to pink, red, or salmon, with a contrasting central cup. The Hippeastrum stylosum is not to be confused with Hippeastrum muellerianum, another popular Amaryllis species with similar appearances but distinct differences. The chromolithograph, however, beautifully captures the essence of the Hippeastrum stylosum, showcasing its elegant and exotic beauty. The lithographic process, which involves using a flat stone or metal plate coated with a light-sensitive emulsion to transfer an image, was a popular method for producing high-quality botanical illustrations during the late 19th century. The result is a vibrant, detailed, and lifelike representation of the Hippeastrum stylosum, which continues to captivate viewers over a century later.
