EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Primrose, Oenothera acaulis, is a beautiful and intriguing plant native to South America, specifically Chile. This stunning handcoloured lithograph is an exquisite example of botanical illustration from the esteemed horticultural work "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Evening Primrose is characterized by its unique feature of opening its flowers in the evening and closing them during the day, a trait that earned it its common name. In this illustration, the delicate blooms are depicted in full splendor, their vibrant yellow petals unfurled against a backdrop of dark, glossy leaves. The plant's slender stems and compact growth habit are also accurately rendered, providing a detailed and lifelike representation. The handcolouring technique used in this lithograph adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the illustration, bringing out the intricate details of the plant's veins, hairs, and textures. The use of chromolithography, a popular method of the time, allowed for a wide range of colours to be used, resulting in a visually stunning and accurate representation of the Evening Primrose. This botanical illustration is not only a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and publishers of the time, but also serves as an important record of the natural world and the plants that were being cultivated in European gardens and hothouses during the mid-19th century. The Evening Primrose, Oenothera acaulis, remains a beloved and intriguing plant to this day, and this beautiful illustration continues to captivate and inspire.
