EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the beautiful Swamp Lily, Crinum erubescens, also known as Amaryllis procera. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874 by renowned botanists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Swamp Lily is native to South America, specifically Brazil, and is characterized by its large, white, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom atop tall stems. The flowers can reach up to 3 feet in height and emit a sweet fragrance, making them a popular ornamental plant in gardens and greenhouses. The intricate details of the Swamp Lily's petals, leaves, and stem are expertly captured in this handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the artists' exceptional skill and attention to detail. The rich colours and shading add depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant contribution to the world of botanical illustration, providing an accurate record of the many exotic plants being cultivated in European gardens and hothouses during the late 19th century. This beautiful Swamp Lily image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the dedication of Van Houtte and Lemaires to documenting it.
