EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the vibrant foliage of the Schismatoglottis motleyana, also known as the Motley Arum or Motley Calla, a tropical plant in the Araceae family. The image was created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels, published in 1884. The Schismatoglottis motleyana is native to the rainforests of Central and South America and is known for its distinct, colorful foliage. The plant's leaves are large, glossy, and deeply lobed, with each lobe displaying a unique pattern of contrasting colors. In this illustration, the leaves are depicted in various stages of growth, showcasing their intricate veining and the way they unfurl from the central stem. The chromolithograph process, which involved printing multiple colors from separate plates, allowed for a high level of detail and accuracy in the representation of the plant's complex foliage. The rich, saturated colors and precise shading create a lifelike and captivating image that transports us to the lush, exotic environments of the tropical rainforest. This botanical illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also plays an important role in documenting the natural world and preserving knowledge of plant species for future generations. The Schismatoglottis motleyana remains a popular ornamental plant today, admired for its unique and eye-catching foliage.
