EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph showcases the breathtaking beauty of Hippeastrum reginae, also known as the Queen of the Night or Amaryllis, in its double-flowered form, Hippeastrum fulgidum flore pleno. The image captures the grandeur of this Cuban native, which was first discovered in the late 16th century and later introduced to Europe in the 17th century. The plant's large, elegant blooms, depicted here in vibrant colors, unfurl only for one night, making each flowering a rare and magical event. The lithograph is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, between 1862 and 1865. The meticulous attention to detail and the rich, saturated colors of this print serve as a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft and the importance placed on documenting and preserving the natural world during this period. Hippeastrum reginae continues to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts alike with its allure, and this stunning representation serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the natural world that has persisted throughout history.
