EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the beautiful and enchanting Clematis lanuginosa, also known as the Downy Clematis or Chinese Clematis. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium in 1856. The Downy Clematis is a woody vine native to China, with delicate, lanuginose (woolly) stems and large, velvety leaves. The plant is adorned with clusters of small, fragrant, white flowers, which bloom in late spring and early summer. The intricate details of the flowers, veins on the leaves, and textures of the stems are masterfully captured in this chromolithograph. Robert Fortune, a renowned Scottish botanist and plant collector, is believed to have introduced this species to Europe in the mid-19th century. The Clematis lanuginosa quickly gained popularity among horticulturists and garden enthusiasts for its striking appearance and ease of cultivation. This botanical illustration, created through the chromolithograph process, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the artists and printers involved in the production of "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe." The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
