EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Eria javanica orchid, also known as Eria striolata. The image was meticulously drawn by the skilled hand of Pieter de Pannemaeker and chromolithographed from Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1888. The intricate details of the orchid's delicate petals and foliage are beautifully rendered in vibrant colors, showcasing the exotic allure of this tropical plant. The Eria javanica is native to Southeast Asia and is known for its slender, arching inflorescences that bear small, fragrant flowers. The plant's foliage is a glossy green, and its flowers come in various shades of pink, purple, and white. This orchid is a popular choice among collectors and hobbyists due to its unique beauty and relatively easy cultivation. Chromolithography was a popular method of printing during the late 19th century, allowing for the production of high-quality, detailed images. The process involved creating a series of lithographic plates, each coated with a different color, which were then pressed onto the paper one at a time to create a multi-colored image. The result was a vibrant, lifelike representation of the subject matter, making it an ideal medium for botanical illustrations. This image of the Eria javanica orchid not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of this exotic plant but also highlights the artistic skill and technological innovation of the time. It is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the desire to preserve and share its wonders.
