EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the President Roosevelt variety of Odontoglossum crispum orchid, a captivating and exotic flower that has long held the fascination of botanists and horticulturists alike. The Odontoglossum crispum, native to the tropical regions of South America, is known for its vibrant, multi-colored blooms and distinctive lip shape. This particular variety, named after President Theodore Roosevelt, was first identified and described by the renowned Belgian botanist Lucien Linden in 1903. The illustration, taken from Linden's seminal work "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," showcases the President Roosevelt variety in all its splendor. The intricate details of the orchid's petals and sepals are beautifully rendered, with their rich colors and textures faithfully captured in the chromolithograph process. The background depicts a lush, green hothouse setting, further emphasizing the tropical origins of this exotic bloom. The President Roosevelt variety of Odontoglossum crispum was a popular orchid among collectors during the early 20th century, and this illustration serves as a testament to its beauty and allure. The chromolithograph was produced by the esteemed Bruyne printing company in Brussels, Belgium, and is a fine example of the high-quality botanical illustrations that were produced during this period. Today, this illustration remains an important historical record of the President Roosevelt variety of Odontoglossum crispum and the rich history of orchid cultivation and exploration.
