EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph showcases the vibrant beauty of the African daisy, Arctotis acaulis var. speciosa. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The African daisy, also known as the Cape Arctotis or the red daisy, is a native of South Africa, specifically the Western and Eastern Cape regions. This charming perennial plant boasts bright, velvety red petals that surround a golden-yellow center, creating a striking contrast and an allure that has captivated botanists and garden enthusiasts for generations. The intricate details of the African daisy's petals and leaves are expertly rendered in this lithograph, revealing the delicate intricacies of its structure. The rich, earthy tones of the background add depth and texture, further highlighting the vibrancy of the flower. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of botanical illustration. The work showcases a diverse array of plants from across Europe and beyond, providing a detailed record of the horticultural world during the mid-19th century. The hand-colouring process employed by Van Houtte and Lemaires adds an additional layer of artistry to the already impressive illustrations, making each print a unique work of art. Today, the African daisy remains a popular choice for gardeners and florists, its bold, eye-catching blooms adding a touch of exotic beauty to any setting. This stunning lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this remarkable plant and the art of botanical illustration.
