EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning silkscreen botanical illustration depicts the vibrant Red waterlily tulip, Tulipa kaufmanniana var. coccinea. The image is a masterpiece by the talented Elsie Katherine Dykes, created for William R. Dykes' Notes on Tulip Species published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. The Red waterlily tulip is a rare and beautiful variety of the species Tulipa kaufmanniana. Its unique characteristics set it apart from other tulips, with its distinctive red flowers that resemble the blooms of water lilies. The intricately detailed illustration captures the delicate beauty of the tulip's petals, which unfurl in a perfect rosette around the central disc, and the delicate veining and texture of the leaves. Elsie Katherine Dykes was a renowned botanical illustrator, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to bring the natural world to life through her art. Her illustrations were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit, making them valuable resources for botanical research and conservation efforts. This particular illustration is a testament to Dykes' skill and dedication to her craft. The silkscreen technique used to create the image allowed for a rich, vibrant color palette and a high level of detail, making it a standout piece in any botanical collection. The Red waterlily tulip is a rare and enchanting flower, and this illustration serves as a beautiful and enduring record of its unique beauty.
