This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Azalea hybrid, Albo-Cincta, Rhododendron indicum, also known as Azalea indica Albo-Cincta. The intricately detailed image, taken from the hallowed pages of Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires' seminal work, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856, captures the essence of this rare and captivating cultivar. The Azalea hybrid Albo-Cincta is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticultural world in the mid-19th century. Its white, albo, petals, edged with a delicate pink cincture, or border, are arranged in perfect symmetry around the vibrant, golden-yellow stamen. The rich, green foliage provides a lush backdrop to the blooms, adding to the overall allure of this enchanting plant. The meticulous handcolouring technique employed by the skilled artisans of the time brings the Azalea hybrid Albo-Cincta to life, revealing the intricacies of its form and the subtle nuances of its colouration. The result is a work of art that transcends its botanical origins and becomes a thing of beauty in its own right. This Azalea hybrid, with its captivating appearance and rarity, would have been a prized possession for any horticulturist or collector in the mid-19th century. Today, it remains an object of fascination and inspiration for gardeners, artists, and anyone who appreciates the natural world's splendour. The Azalea hybrid Albo-Cincta, Rhododendron indicum, is a testament to the power of nature and the artistry of those who seek to capture its essence.
