EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting White Flamingo Flower, also known as Anthurium andreanum var. Wambekeanum. The illustration was created by the skilled Belgian botanical artist Albert Goossens and beautifully brought to life through the chromolithographic process by Paul de Pannemaeker. The image was published in Jean Linden's esteemed botanical book, "Illustration Horticole," which was released in Ghent in 1886. Jean Linden (1817-1898) was a remarkable figure in the world of botany and horticulture. He was a Belgian explorer, scientist, and publisher who dedicated his life to the study and documentation of various plant species. Linden's extensive travels allowed him to collect specimens from various parts of the world, which he then meticulously documented through illustrations such as this one. The White Flamingo Flower is a stunning member of the Anthurium family, known for its unique, heart-shaped spathe and spadix that resemble the head and neck of a flamingo. The white variety, as depicted in this illustration, is particularly rare and alluring. The intricate details captured in the illustration showcase the delicate beauty of this plant, with its veined spathe and the tiny, waxy flowers that adorn the spadix. This historical chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the late 19th century but also invites us to appreciate the captivating allure of the natural world. The White Flamingo Flower remains an iconic symbol of exotic beauty and a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire us today.
