Azalea Horticole Indica Linden
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting White Azalea, Azalea indica var. gardeniaeflora, as illustrated by Jean Linden for Horticole in 1882. The White Azalea, a beloved member of the Rhododendron family, is native to China and is characterized by its abundant, pure white flowers that bloom in late spring. The intricate details of the White Azalea's delicate petals and lush foliage are beautifully rendered in this historical illustration. Chromolithography, a popular printing technique during the late 19th century, allowed for vibrant and detailed images to be mass-produced. This method involved the use of multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a richly layered and lifelike image. Jean Linden, a renowned botanical illustrator of the time, expertly captured the essence of the White Azalea in this illustration. Linden's work was widely published in various horticultural journals and books, making him a significant contributor to the documentation and dissemination of botanical knowledge during the Victorian era. The White Azalea has been a cherished ornamental plant for over a century, gracing gardens and landscapes with its stunning beauty. Its ability to thrive in acidic soils and partial shade makes it an ideal choice for many gardeners. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the White Azalea and the importance of historical botanical records in preserving our natural heritage.
