EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Loddigesii Cattleya orchid, a magnificent bloom that graced the pages of Harriet Stewart Miner's groundbreaking book, "Orchids, the Royal Family of Plants," published by Lee & Shepard in Boston in 1885. Miner, an accomplished woman botanist, was the first American to produce a color plate book on orchids, showcasing her exceptional skill and dedication to documenting these enchanting plants. The Loddigesii Cattleya, also known as the Loddigess Cattleya, is a native of Brazil and is renowned for its captivating beauty. Its vibrant, velvety petals come in shades of pink and white, while its labellum, or lip, boasts intricate patterns and a rich, deep color. The delicate balance of colors and shapes in this orchid is masterfully captured in this chromolithograph, which was produced by the Hatch Company based on Miner's original botanical illustration. This artwork is a testament to the intricacy and allure of orchids, which have long been revered for their unique beauty and rarity. The Loddigesii Cattleya remains a beloved and iconic symbol of the orchid family, and this chromolithograph serves as a captivating reminder of the wonder and discovery that Miner's work brought to the world over a century ago.
