EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the exotic Sinningia cooperi, also known as Dircaea lateritia, a beautiful orchid species native to Brazil. The illustration is taken from the highly regarded horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by the renowned Belgian botanists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in 1856. The Sinningia cooperi is characterized by its vibrant, tubular flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, purple, and white. The illustration captures the intricate details of the petals, which are adorned with distinctive wavy lines and veins, as well as the prominent column and labellum. The plant's lush, green foliage is also depicted, adding to the overall allure of this orchid. The handcolouring technique used in this lithograph enhances the natural beauty of the Sinningia cooperi, bringing out the rich colours and textures of the flowers and leaves. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration is a testament to the skill and expertise of the artists and printers involved in the production of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe." This botanical illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art, but also plays an important role in documenting the natural world and advancing scientific knowledge during the Victorian era. The Sinningia cooperi was a prized addition to the collections of many European hothouses and gardens, and this illustration would have provided horticulturists and plant enthusiasts with valuable information on its cultivation and identification.
