EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodcut print showcases the exotic beauty of Ostrowskia magnifica, a tropical plant that was first brought to European attention in the late 19th century. The intricately detailed illustration was produced by Gardchron and masterfully rendered in woodcut form by Worthington G. Smith for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1888. Ostrowskia magnifica, also known as the Magnificent Ostrowska, is a member of the Rubiaceae family and is native to Southeast Asia. Its large, glossy leaves are a vibrant green color and can grow up to 30 centimeters long, with a distinctive shape that resembles a hand with outstretched fingers. The plant produces small, white flowers that bloom in clusters. The woodcut technique used to create this print involved carving the design into a block of wood and then inking and pressing the block onto paper to transfer the image. The result is a highly detailed, textured representation of the plant that captures its essence and beauty. This print is a testament to the fascination with exotic plants that was prevalent during the Victorian era, when European collectors and horticulturists were eager to discover and document new species from around the world. The intricate details of the woodcut, combined with the lush foliage and vibrant colors, make this a truly captivating and beautiful addition to any botanical collection.
