EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Phragmipedium longifolium orchid, also known as the Long-leaved Phragmipedium or Cypripedium roezlii. The image was meticulously drawn and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator, P. de Pannemaeker, for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels, published in 1873. The Phragmipedium longifolium is a tropical orchid species native to Central and South America. It is characterized by its elongated, green leaves that can grow up to 30 inches long, and its vibrant, fragrant flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, purple, and white. The flowers have a unique shape, with a distinct lip that resembles a pouch, which helps to attract pollinators. Orchids have long been admired for their beauty and rarity, and the Phragmipedium longifolium is no exception. This chromolithograph provides a detailed and accurate record of the plant's appearance, capturing its intricate details and delicate colors. The use of the chromolithograph process allowed for the creation of high-quality, detailed botanical illustrations, which were highly sought after by collectors and horticulturists of the time. The Phragmipedium longifolium remains a popular orchid species today, and is prized for its striking appearance and unique characteristics. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the beauty and allure of this exotic plant, and to the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrators of the past.
