EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handcoloured lithograph depicts Bertolonia marmorata, also known as Eriocnema marmoraea, in full bloom, as it was originally described in the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1851. The plant is native to Brazil, specifically the province of Bahia, and is characterized by its striking marbled foliage and vibrant, tubular flowers that bloom in shades of pink and white. The intricate details of the plant's veining and textured surface are expertly rendered in the lithographic process, showcasing the exceptional artistry of the time. The image captures the essence of the plant's exotic allure, transporting the viewer to the lush gardens of Europe where such rare and beautiful specimens were cultivated and admired. The botanical name Bertolonia marmorata refers to the marbled appearance of the leaves, while Eriocnema marmoraea refers to the woolly hairs on the plant's stems and leaves. This stunning lithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the passion of the horticulturalists and artists who dedicated their lives to documenting it.
