EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the stunning Scarlet and White Striped Camellia, Thea japonica, a beautiful flowering plant that has captivated horticulturists and botanists for centuries. The image was meticulously drawn from life by the renowned Belgian botanical artist, P. de Pannemaeker, for the esteemed horticultural publication, Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Ghent in 1886. Jean Linden (1817-1898) was a Belgian explorer, horticulturist, scientist, and publisher of botanical books. His publications were renowned for their exceptional quality and accuracy, making them highly sought-after by collectors and scholars alike. This particular illustration showcases the Scarlet and White Striped Camellia in all its glory, with its vibrant scarlet petals and crisp white stripes. The Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, native to Asia, and is named after the ancient Chinese philosopher Camellus. Thea japonica, specifically, is a popular cultivar that originated in Japan. The chromolithograph process used to create this image involved the transfer of an image from a stone plate to a sheet of paper using multiple colors, resulting in a highly detailed and vivid representation of the subject matter. This beautiful and historically significant image offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the fascination with the natural world that has driven explorers, scientists, and artists for generations. The Scarlet and White Striped Camellia continues to be a beloved plant in gardens around the world, and this stunning illustration serves as a testament to its enduring beauty and allure.
