EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the exquisite beauty of the Cup of Beauty camellia (Camellia japonica), a beloved hybrid variety of the popular Camellia plant. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868. The Cup of Beauty camellia is a hybrid of Camellia japonica, native to East Asia, and was first discovered in Japan in the late 18th century. This particular variety is renowned for its large, velvety, and perfectly formed flowers, which bloom in shades of pink and white. The intricate detailing of the petals, veins, and stamens is captured beautifully in this handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the delicate elegance and allure of the Camellia japonica. The publication of "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of horticulture, as it documented and showcased a vast array of exotic and rare plants from Europe and beyond. The collaboration between Louis van Houtte, a renowned horticulturist and botanical entrepreneur, and Charles Lemaire, a skilled lithographer, resulted in a visually stunning and accurate record of the plants of the time. This image of the Cup of Beauty camellia serves as a testament to the beauty and allure of nature, as well as the dedication and expertise of the horticultural community during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the lithograph bring the flower to life, inviting us to appreciate its beauty and wonder.
