EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of the Scarlet Hybrid Camellia, Caprioli, Thea japonica, as captured by the skilled hand of Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute's protégé, Paul-Emile Pannemaeker, and the meticulous lithographic techniques of Louis Stroobant of Ghent. Originally published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in 1873, this chromolithograph offers a vibrant and intricate portrayal of this beloved camellia hybrid. The Scarlet Hybrid Camellia, Caprioli, Thea japonica, is a result of the crossbreeding between two different camellia species, most likely Camellia sasanqua and Camellia japonica. This hybrid's scarlet-red blooms, with their glossy, velvety petals and golden stamens, are a captivating sight, making it a popular choice for horticultural enthusiasts and gardeners alike. The botanical illustration not only highlights the alluring appearance of the Scarlet Hybrid Camellia but also provides valuable insights into its botanical characteristics. The detailed label at the bottom left of the image includes its scientific name, Thea japonica, and the name of its cultivator, Caprioli. The illustration also reveals the plant's growth habit, with its glossy, dark-green leaves arranged in an alternate pattern on the stems. This historical botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the 19th-century botanical world. The intricate details, vivid colors, and meticulous attention to detail make it an invaluable resource for both horticultural and artistic appreciation. Today, this beautiful camellia hybrid continues to captivate gardeners and botanists, and this illustration remains a stunning reminder of its historical significance.
