EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of Clematis excelsior hybrid, a remarkable cultivar raised by the renowned British horticulturist Thomas Cripps. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874. Clematis excelsior hybrid is a captivating member of the Clematis family, characterized by its large, elegant flowers that bloom in clusters. The lithograph accurately depicts the plant's rich, velvety purple-blue blossoms, each adorned with a golden-yellow center, creating a striking contrast. The intricate details of the veining on the petals and the delicate, tendrils curling around a support are brilliantly captured, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship of the lithographic process. Thomas Cripps was a prominent figure in Victorian-era horticulture, known for his exceptional work in breeding and cultivating new Clematis hybrids. His contributions to the world of gardening were widely recognized and celebrated, making this particular Clematis excelsior hybrid a prized addition to the botanical world. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of botanical illustration, providing an accurate and detailed record of the most beautiful and exotic plants of the time. This image of Clematis excelsior hybrid serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the team behind this remarkable work.
