EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Lycaste virginalis, also known as Lycaste skinneri, an epiphytic orchid native to Central and South America. The image is taken from an illustration by Desire Bois for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Lycaste virginalis is a large, curled orchid with distinctive oncidium-like flowers. The flowers are arranged in a dense, compact inflorescence, with each bloom featuring a vibrant, white labellum edged in pink, and a yellow-green sepals and petals. The crispum variety, as depicted in this illustration, is characterized by its wavy, ruffled edges on the labellum and sepals. During the Victorian era, orchids were highly prized for their beauty and rarity. Collecting and cultivating these exotic flowers was a popular pastime among the wealthy and horticulturally inclined. Orchid societies and shows emerged, and botanical illustrations like this one were produced to document and celebrate the diverse and captivating world of orchids. The intricate details of the Lycaste virginalis in this chromolithograph are a testament to the skill and artistry of Desire Bois and the printing process used by Frederick Warne. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the orchid to life, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close, even if they could not experience it in person. Today, the Lycaste virginalis remains a beloved and sought-after orchid species, admired for its unique appearance and the challenge it poses to growers. This illustration serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these remarkable plants and the importance of preserving their history and beauty for future generations.
