EDITORS COMMENTS
Coelogyne cristata, also known as the Crystal Orchid, is a stunning epiphytic orchid species native to the Himalayas and southern China. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph is an exquisite example of the intricate detail and vibrant colours that were achieved through the chromolithographic process during the late 19th century. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication, 'Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe' by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868. The Coelogyne cristata is characterized by its large, flat, waxy, and fragrant flowers, which bloom in clusters. The petals and sepals are a beautiful shade of pink with white edges, while the labellum, or lip, is a striking white with pink stripes. The plant's canes are covered in small, green leaves, and it prefers to grow on trees in humid, shady conditions. The Coelogyne cristata was a popular orchid among Victorian-era collectors and hobbyists due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy cultivation. This lithograph would have been a prized possession for any botanical enthusiast of the time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the orchid family. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the illustration are a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and botanical illustrators of the period. Today, the Coelogyne cristata remains a beloved orchid species, and this beautiful lithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the fascination with the natural world that continues to this day.
