EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting White variety of Redcurrant, Ribes sanguineum albidum. Originating from Europe, this botanical illustration is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1845. The White Redcurrant is a delightful shrub, adorned with small, delicate white flowers that bloom in early spring, giving way to clusters of juicy, bright red fruits. The fruit's vibrant colour and glossy finish are beautifully captured in this chromolithograph, a technique that allowed for rich, detailed colour reproduction. The Redcurrant, a member of the Ribes genus, is known for its hardiness and adaptability, thriving in various climates and soil types. The White Redcurrant, in particular, is prized for its ornamental value, as well as its culinary uses. Its tart, yet sweet berries are often used to make jams, jellies, and preserves, adding a burst of flavour to various dishes. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the 19th-century European horticultural community. The intricate details of the White Redcurrant's leaves, flowers, and fruit are rendered with exceptional care, providing a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the past. This timeless piece continues to inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
