EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the Pink Hybrid Camellia, Bertha Giglioli, Thea japonica, a beautiful and rare camellia variety discovered in the late 19th century. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Belgian artist Pierre Stroobant and meticulously lithographed by his brother Louis Stroobant for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1873. The Pink Hybrid Camellia, named after Madame Bertha Giglioli, was a significant addition to the camellia world due to its unique pink hue and elegant blooms. Camellias, native to East Asia, have long been admired for their stunning flowers and have a rich history dating back to ancient China. This botanical illustration captures the intricate details of the Pink Hybrid Camellia's petals, veins, and stamen, offering a close-up view of its beauty. The illustration's vibrant colors and precise details were achieved through the lithographic process, which allowed for the creation of high-quality, detailed images that were widely used in botanical publications during the 19th century. The Pink Hybrid Camellia, Bertha Giglioli, Thea japonica, remains a beloved and cherished variety today, and this illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrators and publishers of the past. This historical piece not only showcases the beauty of this camellia variety but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the important role it played in documenting and preserving the natural world.
