EDITORS COMMENTS
Nidularium scheremetiewii, also known as Karatas scheremetiewi, is a stunning and rare bromeliad species that was beautifully captured in this chromolithograph print from Edward Stepp's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The illustration was expertly rendered by Desire Bois, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors of this exotic plant. Nidularium scheremetiewii, a native of Brazil, is part of the Bromeliaceae family and is also commonly referred to as the coralberry bromeliad due to its bright red berries. This bromeliad is known for its unique and eye-catching inflorescence, which resembles a coral-like structure. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, with a distinctive waxy texture and a rich green color. During the Victorian era, horticulture and botanical illustration were popular pastimes for the affluent class. Gardens and greenhouses were filled with exotic and rare plants, and collectors sought after beautiful and intricately detailed illustrations of these specimens. This chromolithograph print of Nidularium scheremetiewii would have been a prized addition to any Victorian garden enthusiast's collection. The use of the chromolithograph printing technique allowed for the production of high-quality, detailed illustrations with rich and vibrant colors. The process involved using multiple plates, each with a different color, to create a final image with exceptional detail and depth. This technique was particularly well-suited for botanical illustrations, as it allowed for the accurate representation of the intricate details of plants and flowers. Today, this beautiful and rare bromeliad continues to captivate plant enthusiasts and collectors alike, and this stunning chromolithograph print serves as a testament to its enduring allure. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it remains a valuable addition to any botanical collection or garden room.
