EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Rossioglossum krameri, also known as Odontoglossum krameri, an exotic orchid species native to the tropical regions of South America. The intricately detailed illustration was created by renowned Belgian botanical artist Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole, a prestigious botanical publication based in Brussels, in 1885. The Rossioglossum krameri is characterized by its vibrant, richly colored bracts and labellum, which contrast beautifully against the delicate, white petals. The labellum, or lower lip of the flower, is shaped like a pouch and is adorned with small, dark calli, or sticky spots, designed to attract pollinators. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, with a glossy, dark green hue. Orchids have long been admired for their unique beauty and allure, and the Rossioglossum krameri is no exception. This chromolithograph captures the essence of the orchid's captivating appearance, providing a glimpse into the lush, exotic world of tropical flora. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the flower to life, making it a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. The Rossioglossum krameri is just one of the many wonders of the natural world that have been meticulously documented through the art of botanical illustration. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the beauty and importance of these plants, and the dedication of artists and scientists who have worked to preserve their images for future generations to appreciate.
