EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Mandarin Orchid, Phragmipedium caudatum (Selenipedium caudatum var. roseum), a tropical beauty that has captivated botanists and horticulturists for centuries. The Mandarin Orchid, also known as the Rose-tinted Phragmipedium, is native to the cloud forests of Central and South America. Its vibrant, bi-colored flowers are a breathtaking sight, with their rich, velvety red petals and delicate, ivory-hued sepals. The intricate details of this orchid's flowers are masterfully captured in this lithograph by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator, Jean Linden (1839-1911), and his team at the prestigious Horticole publishing house in Brussels. The illustration, produced using the chromolithograph process, showcases the orchid's intricate veining, delicate petals, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The Mandarin Orchid is a true tropical gem, thriving in humid environments with temperatures ranging from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Its exotic allure and delicate beauty have made it a popular subject for botanical illustrations since the 19th century. This chromolithograph, created in 1885, is a testament to the enduring fascination that the Mandarin Orchid holds for botanists, horticulturists, and nature enthusiasts alike. The intricate details of the orchid's flowers are brought to life in this beautiful lithograph, providing a window into the lush, exotic world of tropical botany. The Mandarin Orchid remains a symbol of beauty, rarity, and the wonders of the natural world.
