Anthurium Horticole Linden Pannemaeker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of an Anthurium crystallinum leaf, with its large size and distinctive white veins. The illustration is a lithograph created by the skilled hand of Pierre Joseph Redouté's pupil, Paul-Émile-Joseph Pannemaeker of Ghent. It was published in Jean Linden's esteemed horticultural journal, "L'Illustration Horticole," in 1873. Anthurium crystallinum, also known as the crystal anthurium, is a native of Central and South America. Its large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves can grow up to 30 centimeters long and are adorned with prominent white veins that create a striking contrast against the deep green background. The plant produces vibrant, waxy, red or white inflorescences, which resemble small hearts, adding to its allure. Pannemaeker's illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the botanical lithographers of the 19th century. The chromolithograph process used to create this image allowed for a wide range of colors and shading, resulting in a highly detailed and lifelike representation of the Anthurium crystallinum leaf. This illustration holds historical significance as it was published during a time when botanical exploration and documentation were at their peak. The publication of such detailed and accurate illustrations played a crucial role in the advancement of scientific knowledge and the study of botany. Today, this beautiful illustration remains an enduring reminder of the natural world's wonders and the artistry of its documenters.
