EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the captivating varieties of Gloxinia, specifically Sinningia speciosa, artfully arranged in a vase. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. Sinningia speciosa, commonly known as Gloxinia, is a popular ornamental plant known for its striking, tubular flowers that come in an array of vibrant colors, including red, pink, purple, and white. The plant is native to South America and is a member of the Gesneriaceae family. The lithograph showcases several varieties of Sinningia speciosa, each with unique colorations and patterns on their petals. The intricate details of the flowers are beautifully rendered, with each petal's veins and texture faithfully captured through the art of chromolithography. The vase, adorned with delicate floral motifs, adds to the overall elegance of the composition. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, providing a detailed record of the various Gloxinia varieties that were cultivated and admired during the late 19th century. The handcolouring further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the already stunning floral arrangements.
