EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph showcases the vibrant beauty of the Orange Trumpet Flower, Pyrostegia venusta, also known as Bignonia venusta or Tecuma argentina. The image, created by the skilled hand of Belgian artist L. Stroobant, is a captivating representation of this exotic bloom as it was featured in the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851. The Orange Trumpet Flower is native to South America, specifically Brazil, and is renowned for its eye-catching, trumpet-shaped blossoms that burst with a radiant orange hue. The delicate petals, intricately detailed in this lithograph, unfurl to reveal a captivating interior adorned with golden stamens. The plant's lush, green foliage is also depicted in the illustration, providing a lush backdrop to the brilliant blooms. The vine-like plant climbs and cascades, its tendrils twining around supports, making it an ideal choice for garden trellises or arbors. This exquisite work of art not only showcases the allure of the Orange Trumpet Flower but also highlights the extraordinary talent of L. Stroobant and the dedication of Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires to documenting the natural world. The intricacy and detail of the hand-coloring technique bring the flower to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in a way that transcends time.
