EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Dahlia variety Paragon, a captivating example of the Dahlia coccinea species. Created by renowned Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1884, this masterpiece showcases the Paragon dahlia in all its glory. The Paragon dahlia is characterized by its velvety, richly colored petals that radiate out from a central disc. In this illustration, the petals display a captivating blend of fiery red and orange hues, with intricate veining adding depth and texture. The contrasting green foliage adds a lush, tropical backdrop to the vibrant bloom. Dahlias are native to Mexico and Central America, and were brought to Europe in the late 18th century. They quickly gained popularity for their exotic beauty and diverse range of colors and sizes. The Paragon variety, with its bold, striking appearance, was particularly prized by horticulturists and flower enthusiasts of the time. This chromolithograph is a testament to the artistry and dedication of Pieter de Pannemaeker and Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Paragon dahlia to life, transporting us to a time when such botanical wonders were considered the height of luxury and sophistication. Today, the Paragon dahlia remains a beloved and cherished flower, a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
