EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Comte de Kerchove de Denterghems screw pine, scientifically known as Pandanus kerchovei. The image was created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator Francois Stroobant, as part of Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole series published in Brussels in 1885. The Comte de Kerchove de Denterghems screw pine is an exotic tropical plant native to Madagascar, named after the Belgian botanist and explorer, Comte de Kerchove de Denterghem, who discovered the species in the late 19th century. The screw pine derives its name from the distinctive spiral arrangement of its leaves, which coil around the stem like a screw. The plant is characterized by its tall, slender trunk, which is covered in a dense mat of fibrous leaves. The leaves are a vibrant green color and can grow up to 2 meters in length. The Comte de Kerchove de Denterghems screw pine is also known for its large, creamy-white flowers, which bloom in clusters at the tips of the branches. This beautiful chromolithograph captures the intricate details of the Comte de Kerchove de Denterghems screw pine, from the texture of its leaves to the delicate petals of its flowers. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of color from lithographic stones, allowed for a high level of detail and accuracy in the reproduction of the original botanical illustration. The Comte de Kerchove de Denterghems screw pine is a rare and exotic plant, prized for its unique beauty and intriguing structure. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and to the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrators of the late 19th century.
