Madame Iris le Febvre
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning handcoloured lithograph of an Azalea hybrid, specifically a Satsuki azalea (Rhododendron indicum x indica), which was first introduced in Europe in the late 19th century. This exquisite botanical illustration is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Azalea in this print, Madame Iris le Febvre, showcases an array of vibrant, richly coloured flowers that bloom in clusters. The petals exhibit a captivating blend of pink, red, and white hues, creating a visually appealing contrast against the dark green foliage. The intricate details of the flowers are beautifully rendered, with each petal's veins and texture meticulously captured in the lithographic process. The Satsuki azalea, also known as the dwarf azalea, is a popular choice for gardeners due to its compact size and prolific blooming habit. Originating from Japan, these azaleas are known for their ability to thrive in cooler climates and are often grown in containers. The name "Satsuki" refers to the seventh month in the Japanese lunar calendar, which is when these azaleas typically bloom. This handcoloured lithograph serves as a testament to the artistic and horticultural achievements of the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the beauty of the Madame Iris le Febvre azalea to life, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection or garden enthusiast's study.
