EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Aerangis citrata orchid, also known as Angraecum citratum. The image was created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels, published in 1885. The Aerangis citrata is a tropical orchid native to Madagascar, renowned for its vibrant, citrus-yellow flowers. The intricate details of the orchid's petals, sepals, and labellum are beautifully captured in this lithograph, showcasing the delicate beauty and complexity of this exotic plant. Orchids have long been admired for their unique and captivating appearance, and the Aerangis citrata is no exception. With its elegant, elongated inflorescence and large, fragrant flowers, this orchid was a popular subject for botanical illustrators of the late 19th century. The use of the chromolithograph technique allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vibrant images, bringing the beauty of the Aerangis citrata to a wider audience. The Aerangis citrata is still admired today for its striking appearance and rarity. It is a challenging plant to cultivate, requiring specific growing conditions and careful attention. This lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the orchid and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world.
