Exotic Horticole Lillustration Linden Lucien Orchid Pannemaeker Sanders Tropical Vanda
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Sanders Vanda orchid, Euanthe sanderiana, a tropical beauty that has captivated horticulturists and plant enthusiasts for over a century. The intricately detailed illustration, created by P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1884, showcases the orchid's elegant and alluring features. The Sanders Vanda, also known as Vanda sanderiana, is a mesmerizing epiphyte native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia. Its large, glossy leaves form a lush base for the spectacular blooms that emerge in various shades of pink, purple, and white. Each flower boasts a distinctive, waxy labellum with a distinctive, elongated spur, which attracts pollinators such as bees and moths. Chromolithography, a popular printing technique during the late 19th century, was used to create this vibrant and lifelike representation of the Sanders Vanda. The process involved transferring multiple layers of color onto a single plate, resulting in a rich, detailed image that captured the essence of the orchid's beauty. As botanical illustrations gained popularity during the Victorian era, orchids, with their exotic allure and delicate beauty, became a favorite subject for artists and collectors alike. The Sanders Vanda orchid, with its striking appearance and alluring charm, was no exception. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with these enchanting tropical flowers and the artistry of those who sought to preserve their beauty for generations to come.
