EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the Emperor tulip, Tulipa fosteriana, in all its glory. Created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, this artwork is a testament to the intricate beauty of this unique tulip species. The Emperor tulip, also known as Tulipa fosteriana, is a rare and captivating bulbous perennial that hails from Central Asia. Its distinctive features include large, velvety, and often bi-color or tricolor flowers, which bloom in late spring. The flowers exhibit a rich, deep red or purple color with contrasting white or yellow edges, creating a striking visual effect. Elsie Katherine Dykes, a renowned botanical illustrator, expertly captured the essence of this magnificent flower in her illustration. The delicate details of the Emperor tulip's petals, leaves, and stems are rendered with exceptional precision and artistry. The use of the silkscreen printing technique adds an additional layer of depth and texture to the artwork, making it a true masterpiece. This illustration is taken from William R. Dykes' "Notes on Tulip Species," published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. Dykes was an avid tulip collector and horticulturist, and his meticulously researched book remains a valuable resource for botanists and gardeners alike. The Emperor tulip is a rare and beautiful addition to any garden, and this illustration serves as a reminder of the exquisite natural beauty that can be found in the world around us. Whether displayed as a standalone piece of art or as part of a larger botanical collection, this silkscreen print is sure to captivate and inspire all who behold it.
