EDITORS COMMENTS
Lopezia grandiflora, also known as Lopezia macrophylla, is a stunning and vibrant plant species native to Mexico. This exquisite handcoloured lithograph is an illustration from the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Lopezia grandiflora is depicted in full bloom, showcasing its large, grandiose flowers that range from deep red to bright orange. The plant's lush, green foliage forms a lush backdrop to the brilliant flowers, adding to the overall allure of this botanical illustration. The intricate details of the plant's veins, petals, and leaves are expertly rendered in this chromolithograph, highlighting the artists' meticulous attention to detail. At the time of publication, the Lopezia grandiflora was a highly sought-after addition to European gardens and hothouses due to its exotic origins and striking appearance. The plant was often displayed proudly among other tropical specimens, adding a burst of colour and vitality to the greenhouses. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of the natural world, as well as the skill and artistry of the European botanical illustrators of the 19th century. The intricate details and rich colours bring the Lopezia grandiflora to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique characteristics and charm even today.
