Brussels Bruyne Exotic Hothouse Hybrid Iconography Linden Lindenia Lucien Orchid Orchids Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of Mr. Paul Otlet's Laeliocattleya hybrid orchid, captured in intricate detail by the skilled hand of Belgian artist C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker for Lucien Linden's "Iconography of Orchids" published in Brussels in 1902. The Laeliocattleya, a popular hybrid orchid, is known for its vibrant colors and alluring shape, with its large, flat, waxy labellum and distinctive lateral sepals. The orchid's tropical origins and exotic allure made it a prized possession among hothouse enthusiasts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mr. Otlet's specific hybrid is not identified in the illustration, but the Laeliocattleya species is renowned for its captivating blooms and ability to thrive in controlled environments. This historical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic mastery of de Bruyne and de Pannemaeker, but also highlights the fascination with the natural world and the pursuit of botanical discovery during the early 20th century.
