EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Easter Orchid, Cattleya mossiae, also known as the Moss Cattleya or the Lycaste-type Cattleya. The vibrant illustration is an elegant representation of this rare and beautiful epiphyte, native to the tropical rainforests of South America. The Cattleya mossiae is a favorite among orchid enthusiasts and botanical illustrators due to its striking appearance. Its large, velvety white petals and labellum, speckled with pink and purple, resemble the delicate elegance of an Easter lily, hence its popular name. The intricate detailing of the sepals and the veining on the petals are beautifully captured in Desire Bois' illustration, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to botanical accuracy. This illustration is from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Victorian-era book is a testament to the fascination and appreciation for horticulture during that time. The Easter Orchid is accompanied by other stunning orchid species, such as Cattleya virginalis and Cattleya skinneri, adding to the overall beauty and richness of the collection. The intricate process of creating chromolithographs involved multiple layers of color being applied to a zinc plate, resulting in a highly detailed and vibrant print. This technique was popular during the Victorian era for producing botanical illustrations, as it allowed for a level of detail and color accuracy that was not achievable through other methods. Today, the Easter Orchid remains a cherished symbol of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, inspiring awe and admiration from botanists, horticulturists, and art lovers alike.
