EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Japanese camellia cultivar, Camellia japonica, specifically the Madame Ambroise Verschaffelt variety. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. Camellia japonica, also known as the Japanese camellia or the common camellia, is a beloved and iconic flowering shrub native to Japan. It is renowned for its elegant, glossy, evergreen leaves and its exquisite, often fragrant, blooms that appear from late autumn to early spring. The Madame Ambroise Verschaffelt cultivar, named after the Belgian botanist Ambroise Verschaffelt, boasts large, velvety, pink-red flowers with a golden center. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and leaves are masterfully captured in this lithograph, showcasing the dedication and artistry of the European horticultural community in documenting and preserving the beauty of Japanese camellias. The image is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between Europe and Japan during the late 19th century, as well as the growing fascination with exotic plants and the art of horticulture. This stunning piece of botanical art not only serves as a beautiful decorative element but also as a reminder of the historical significance of camellias in horticulture and the enduring connection between different parts of the world in the pursuit of knowledge and beauty.
