EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph showcases the enchanting Sukashiyuri lily, scientifically known as Lilium maculatum, also referred to as Lilium venustum or Lilium thunbergianum. The image, created by the skilled hand of L. Stroobant, is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851. The Sukashiyuri lily is a captivating beauty native to Japan, with its large, elegant blooms adorned with distinctive spots and stripes. The lily's petals unfurl in a stunning array of colors, ranging from pure white to deep pink, with intricate patterns of red, purple, and brown. This lily is a true testament to the allure and diversity of the lily family. The meticulous attention to detail in this hand-colored lithograph is evident in the delicate shading and precise coloration of the lily's petals, as well as the intricate rendering of its stem and leaves. The image also includes a small inset illustration of the lily's bulb, providing a comprehensive representation of this magnificent plant. This beautiful work of art not only serves as a stunning visual representation of the Sukashiyuri lily but also highlights the importance of horticultural exploration and documentation during the 19th century. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" allowed for the dissemination of knowledge about exotic plants and the sharing of horticultural discoveries across Europe and beyond.
