EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the vibrant and captivating Orange Lily or Fire Lily, Lilium bulbiferum. Originally published in Diederich von Schlechtendal's comprehensive botanical work, "Flora von Deutschland," in 1871, this illustration showcases the beauty and intricacy of this unique flowering plant. The Orange Lily, also known as the Fire Lily due to its fiery orange hue, is a bulbous perennial herb native to the eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia. With its large, showy flowers and distinctive fragrance, it has long been a favorite among gardeners and botanists alike. The intricate details of the Orange Lily's petals, stamen, and pistil are expertly rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, providing a detailed and accurate representation of the plant. The delicate veining and subtle shading on the petals add depth and texture, while the vibrant orange color is brought to life through the skillful use of pigment. The background of the illustration is kept simple, allowing the Orange Lily to take center stage. The use of a plain, muted background also serves to highlight the intricacies of the flower and its surroundings, such as the delicate tendrils and veining on the leaves. This botanical illustration is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an important record of the Orange Lily's appearance and characteristics. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of botanical discovery and exploration during the late 19th century. Whether displayed in a botanical garden, a natural history museum, or a private collection, this handcoloured lithograph is sure to captivate and inspire all who view it.
