EDITORS COMMENTS
Souvenir de la Malmaison: A Timeless Beauty in Horticulture This exquisite hand-colored lithograph showcases the enchanting allure of Souvenir de la Malmaison, a hybrid carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) that continues to captivate garden enthusiasts and floral aficionados alike. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication, Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe, produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium, between 1867 and 1868. The Souvenir de la Malmaison carnation, with its velvety, ruffled petals and rich, deep red hue, is a testament to the artistry and innovation of the 19th-century horticulturalists. This hybrid variety, which bears the name of the historic Château de Malmaison in France, was bred in the mid-1800s and remains a popular choice for gardeners and florists today. The intricate details of the lithograph reveal the delicate beauty of the flower, with each petal's veins and the delicate lines of its center expertly rendered in vibrant colors. The background, adorned with lush greenery and delicate foliage, adds to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and the enduring allure of the natural world. The Souvenir de la Malmaison carnation, with its timeless beauty, continues to inspire and delight, making it a cherished addition to any garden or collection.
