EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Camellia cultivar, Cup of Beauty (Camellia japonica). The image, taken from the renowned horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857, captures the essence of this camellia variety. The Camellia japonica, also known as Tsubaki in Japan, is a beloved camellia cultivar, celebrated for its stunning, velvety petals that unfurl in a rich, deep pink hue. The intricate details of the flower's delicate veins and the subtle shading of its petals are masterfully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph. Camellias, native to Asia, have long been revered for their ornamental value and symbolic significance. In Japan, the camellia is considered a symbol of love and respect, and the Cup of Beauty variety is particularly prized for its exquisite appearance. This beautiful lithograph not only serves as a testament to the artistry of the 19th-century European horticulturalists but also highlights the enduring appeal of the Camellia japonica, Cup of Beauty, as a symbol of beauty and grace. The intricate details and vibrant colours of this image transport us to a time when botanical exploration and the appreciation of natural beauty were at the forefront of scientific and artistic pursuits.
