Calceolaria Cultivar Exotic Foliage Horticole Hybrid Ladys Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Pieter Purse Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the captivating variety of Ladies' Purses, specifically Calceolaria arachnoidea and its cultivar Calceolaria arachnoideo-crenatiflora. Drawn and expertly chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker, this illustration was originally published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, a prestigious horticultural journal based in Brussels in 1888. Calceolaria arachnoidea, also known as Ladies' Purses or the Creeper Calceolaria, is a tropical and exotic plant that belongs to the Gesneriaceae family. Known for its unique, heart-shaped flowers, which resemble small purses or shoes, this plant is a popular cultivar among horticulturists and plant enthusiasts. The flowers are often two-toned, with contrasting colors, and bloom in various shades of pink, purple, red, and white. The cultivar Calceolaria arachnoideo-crenatiflora, showcased in this illustration, is a hybrid that boasts distinctive, crinkled or wavy edges on its heart-shaped flowers, adding an extra layer of intrigue and allure to the already captivating Ladies' Purses. This botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty and uniqueness of these plants but also serves as an important historical record of their appearance during the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this chromolithograph are a testament to the skill and artistry of Pieter de Pannemaeker and the high standards of Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole.
