EDITORS COMMENTS
The Victoria Hothouse in the Van Houtte Nursery, a veritable sanctuary of tropical flora, is depicted in this exquisite handcoloured lithograph from the renowned horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851. The image captures the awe-inspiring interior of the hothouse, with its glass walls and ornate cast-iron structure, bathed in the soft glow of natural light filtering through the roof. The centerpiece of the scene is the magnificent Victoria cruziana, or giant water lily, its broad, pad-like leaves unfurling atop the glassy surface of the water, evoking a sense of wonder and enchantment. Visitors to the hothouse are seen admiring the plant from various angles, their expressions reflecting a mixture of fascination and reverence. This rare and exotic specimen, native to the Amazon Basin, was a prized possession of hothouse collections throughout Europe during the Victorian era, and its inclusion in this prestigious horticultural publication underscores its significance as a symbol of botanical discovery and achievement. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of this lithograph, produced by the skilled hands of Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, serve to transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the magic and allure of the Victorian hothouse and its most remarkable inhabitants.
