EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Philodendron mamei, a rare and exotic tropical plant native to Central and South America. The illustration was created by J. de Bosschere and beautifully rendered by Pieter de Pannemaeker, based on an original work published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, a renowned horticultural publication from Brussels in 1896. The Philodendron mamei is a small epiphyte, growing on trees in its natural habitat. Its heart-shaped, glossy green leaves are adorned with intricate veining and a distinctive silver sheen, making it a coveted addition to any botanical collection. The plant's small white flowers bloom in infrequent spikes, adding to its allure. Chromolithography, a popular method of printmaking during the late 19th century, allowed for the creation of detailed and vibrant botanical illustrations. This process involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a multicolored image. The result is a stunningly accurate representation of the Philodendron mamei, capturing its intricate details and captivating beauty. This print, produced by the esteemed Goossens, Goossens, Goffart publishing house, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and printers of the time. It serves as a reminder of the fascination with the exotic and the natural world during the Victorian era, and continues to inspire appreciation for the wonders of the plant kingdom today.
