EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases two captivating varieties of China Pink, Dianthus chinensis, named heddewigii and giganteus. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. China Pink, also known as Dianthus chinensis, is a beloved flower species in the Carnation family, Dianthus. The China Pink's allure lies in its distinctive fragrance and vibrant, ruffled petals. In this exquisite print, we can appreciate the intricate details of the heddewigii and giganteus varieties. The heddewigii China Pink is depicted with a more compact growth habit and smaller, yet still captivating, flowers. Its petals display a rich, velvety pink hue with a striking white edge, creating a beautiful contrast. The plant's foliage is a deep green, adding to its overall charm. In contrast, the giganteus China Pink is a grander, more statuesque variety. Its flowers are larger, with petals that radiate a brilliant, almost neon pink color. The plant's height and expansive blooms make it a showstopper in any garden or hothouse. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticultural world during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the passion and innovation that drives horticulturists to cultivate and preserve these magnificent plants. The China Pink, with its captivating varieties heddewigii and giganteus, continues to be a cherished flower species today. This exquisite print is a must-have for any botanical art collection or horticultural enthusiast's library.
