EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the vibrant and captivating Orange Day Lily, or Hemerocallis fulva. The image is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned botanical publication, "Flora von Deutschland" (Flora of Germany), published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration showcases the intricate beauty of the Orange Day Lily's petals, which unfurl in a radiant orange hue. The Orange Day Lily, also known as the Tiger Lily, is a bulbous perennial plant native to eastern North America. It is a popular garden plant, known for its showy flowers that bloom in late summer. The plant's large, fragrant blossoms are often used in floral arrangements and as cut flowers. The botanical illustration was produced using the lithographic technique, which involves drawing on a limestone plate with a greasy crayon or pen, and then applying water and ink to the plate to create the final image. The handcolouring process adds an additional layer of artistry to the illustration, bringing the Orange Day Lily to life with rich, vibrant colours. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Orange Day Lily in all its glory. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the time, who meticulously documented the natural world for the benefit of science and art.
