EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the vibrant and exotic Purple Bells, or Iochroma warscewiczii, a beautiful flowering plant native to South America. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1856. The Purple Bells, also known as the Warscewicz's Iochroma, is a captivating plant with its bell-shaped, tubular flowers that range in color from deep purple to almost black. The flowers grow in clusters and emit a sweet, intoxicating fragrance, making them a popular choice among botanical enthusiasts and gardeners. The intricate details of the Purple Bells are beautifully captured in this lithograph, with each petal and vein meticulously hand-colored to bring out the true essence of the flower. The background is adorned with lush greenery and delicate foliage, adding to the overall charm of the illustration. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" marked a significant contribution to the world of botanical illustration, providing a comprehensive record of the most exotic and rare plants from Europe and beyond. The work of Van Houtte and Lemaires remains an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and gardeners to this day. The Purple Bells, with its alluring beauty and exotic origins, continues to captivate and inspire, making it a beloved addition to any botanical collection or garden.
