EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the Mexican Hand Tree, scientifically known as Chiranthodendron pentadactylon (also referred to as Cheirostemon platanoides), a unique and intriguing botanical specimen native to Mexico and Central America. The image is taken from "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," a comprehensive botanical work published in Ghent, Belgium, between 1849 and 1853 by renowned horticulturists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Mexican Hand Tree derives its common name from the distinctive shape of its leaves, which resemble human hands. The tree can grow up to 20 meters tall and is characterized by its large, palmate leaves, each composed of five lobes, giving the tree a striking appearance. The tree is also known for its beautiful, fragrant flowers, which bloom in clusters and are typically white or pink in color. The lithograph captures the tree in all its glory, with intricate detail and vibrant colors. The artists have expertly rendered the tree's textured bark, the veins on its leaves, and the delicate petals of its flowers. The background features a lush, green landscape, further emphasizing the tree's natural beauty. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of botany, as it documented a wide range of exotic and rare plant species from around the world. The work was produced during a time when European horticulture was experiencing a surge in popularity, and the exchange of plant specimens between European countries and their colonies was a common practice. The Mexican Hand Tree, with its unique and intriguing features, would have been a prized addition to any European garden or hothouse.
