Cineraria Cultivar Exotic Frederic Horticole Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Pieter Tropical Hybrids Pericallis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a collection of Pericallis cruenta hybrids, also known as Cineraria hybrids, raised by the renowned horticulturist Frederic Forckel. The image, created by the skilled hand of Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels during 1885, showcases the vibrant and exotic beauty of these tropical plants. Pericallis cruenta, native to South America, is a popular ornamental plant known for its distinctive, velvety, and richly colored bracts that surround the white flowers. Forckel, a German botanist and plant breeder, was renowned for his work in developing new hybrids, particularly of the Pericallis genus. The chromolithograph captures the essence of Forckel's creations, with each hybrid displaying unique variations in bract color and form. The rich reds, purples, and pinks of the bracts contrast beautifully with the white flowers, creating a visual feast for the eyes. The intricate details of the leaves and stems are also expertly rendered, adding to the overall impression of lush, tropical abundance. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and innovation of Forckel's work, as well as the skill of the lithographer, Pieter de Pannemaeker, and the publisher, Jean Linden. The image captures the essence of the Pericallis cruenta hybrids, highlighting their exotic beauty and the dedication of the horticulturists who cultivated them over a century ago.
