EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the enchanting Waterlily Tulip, Tulipa kaufmanniana. Created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, this illustration is a captivating representation of the unique beauty of this rare tulip species. The Waterlily Tulip, also known as the Fringed Tulip, is a fascinating hybrid that was first discovered in the late 19th century in the Netherlands. It derives its name from its distinctive waterlily-like fringes that adorn its petals, adding an ethereal and delicate quality to its appearance. Elsie Katherine Dykes, a renowned botanical illustrator, expertly captured the intricacies of this rare tulip in her illustration. Her meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate veining on the petals, the subtle variations in color, and the precise rendering of the tulip's intricate fringes. This illustration is taken from William R. Dykes' "Notes on Tulip Species," published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. Dykes was a prominent horticulturist and tulip expert who dedicated his life to the study and cultivation of tulips. His comprehensive work on tulip species was a groundbreaking contribution to the field of botanical illustration and remains an invaluable resource for horticulturists and botanists today. The Waterlily Tulip is a rare and beautiful addition to any botanical collection, and this stunning silkscreen illustration by Elsie Katherine Dykes is a testament to its unique charm and allure.
