EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Tiger Lotus, Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis, also known as Nymphaea thermalis, in its natural aquatic habitat. The image captures the beauty and allure of this rare and exotic water lily, native to the spas of Hungary and other parts of Central Europe. The Tiger Lotus is a stunning variation of the common water lily, characterized by its unique, mottled, orange-brown petals that resemble the stripes of a tiger. The delicate, white center of the flower contrasts beautifully with the vibrant, tiger-like patterns on the edges. This print is from the esteemed horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring of this lithograph is evident in the intricate depiction of the Tiger Lotus's petals, veins, and stems. The image also showcases the tranquil setting of the spa waters where the Tiger Lotus thrives, adding to the overall serene and otherworldly atmosphere. This print is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the 19th century, and a reminder of the captivating beauty of the natural world.
