EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of Camellia japonica cultivar Virgine di Collebeato, captured in the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in 1857. The Camellia, a beloved member of the Theaceae family, is native to Eastern and South Eastern Asia, and has long been cherished for its stunning, delicate flowers. Virgine di Collebeato, with its captivating white petals and pink edges, is a testament to the diverse range of colours and forms that this versatile plant can exhibit. The intricate details of its velvety petals, veined leaves, and stamen are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry in this lithograph. The botanical illustration was produced during the height of the Victorian era, a time when the cultivation and collection of exotic plants was a popular pastime among European aristocracy and horticulturists. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques employed in the creation of this lithograph reflect the great importance placed on the documentation and preservation of these rare and beautiful plants. The image is a visual feast for the eyes, inviting the viewer to appreciate the timeless allure of the Camellia and the artistry of the botanical illustration. This exquisite piece is a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
