EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the captivating Parrot Tulip, Tulipa gesneriana, with its unique and intricately patterned petals. The Parrot Tulip, also known as Tulipa gesneriana var. dracontia, is a rare and exotic variety that was first discovered in the late 16th century in the Ottoman Empire. This botanical masterpiece is an illustration from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The illustration was created by Desire Bois, a renowned botanical artist of the Victorian era. Bois' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the Parrot Tulip's petals, which are reminiscent of the intricately patterned feathers of a parrot. The petals are arranged in a striking and symmetrical formation, with each one displaying a distinct and intricate pattern. The Parrot Tulip is a hybrid of several different species, including Tulipa schrenkii, Tulipa suaveolens, and Tulipa gesneriana. It was named after the German botanist Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, who first described it in 1840. The Parrot Tulip was a popular and coveted addition to Victorian gardens and greenhouses, and was often used as a symbol of wealth and status. This beautiful and intricate Parrot Tulip chromolithograph is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the Victorian era. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature, and to marvel at the wonders of the botanical world.
