EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the White and Blood-red Dendrobium Orchid, specifically identified as Dendrobium albosanguineum. The image, taken 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, is a testament to the exquisite detail and artistry of the time. The White and Blood-red Dendrobium Orchid is a native of Thailand and is renowned for its unique and alluring appearance. The delicate white petals of the flower are contrasted beautifully by the bold, blood-red markings that adorn the lip and sepals. The intricate veining and subtle textures of the petals are expertly captured in this meticulously handcoloured lithograph. Orchids have long been a source of fascination and admiration for horticulturists and naturalists alike, and the White and Blood-red Dendrobium Orchid is no exception. This exquisite specimen would have been a prized possession in the collections of the most esteemed European gardens and hothouses of the time. The publication of such detailed and accurate depictions of these rare and exotic plants allowed for their dissemination and appreciation by a wider audience, fueling the growing obsession with orchid cultivation and collection. This beautiful and intricate image serves as a reminder of the rich horticultural history and the beauty and allure of the natural world, which continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
