EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Sea Lavender, Limonium bonducellii, also known as Statice bonduelli. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1874. The Sea Lavender is a native plant of the Mediterranean region, particularly Algeria, where it thrives in sandy coastal areas. This elegant plant belongs to the Plumbaginaceae family and is characterized by its delicate, lavender-blue flowers that bloom in dense, spiky clusters. The plant's foliage is gray-green and forms a low, compact rosette, making it an ideal ornamental plant for rock gardens and coastal landscapes. The intricate details of the Sea Lavender's flowers and foliage are beautifully captured in this handcoloured lithograph. The artistry of the illustration showcases the delicate petals, which are slightly curved and have a distinctive, star-like shape. The veining on the leaves is also meticulously rendered, adding to the overall beauty and realism of the image. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration. The work was produced during a time when the exchange of plant specimens and horticultural knowledge between European countries was at its peak. The publication showcased a wide range of plants from various European gardens and hothouses, providing a valuable record of the horticultural achievements of the time. This Sea Lavender lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and the importance of botanical publications in documenting and preserving the natural world.
