EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Zenobia dahlia hybrid, Dahlia coccinea, a captivating flower that graced European gardens during the late 19th century. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868. The Zenobia dahlia hybrid, also known as the Zenobia dahlia or the Red Edged Dahlia, is a captivating cross between Dahlia coccinea and another dahlia species. This hybrid is characterized by its velvety, rich red petals edged with a contrasting creamy white, creating a mesmerizing effect that has captivated gardeners and botanists for over a century. The intricate details of the flower's petals, stamen, and pistil are masterfully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, revealing the delicate beauty of the Zenobia dahlia hybrid in all its splendor. The background features a lush, verdant garden setting, further emphasizing the flower's natural elegance. Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires were pioneers in the field of botanical illustration, producing high-quality, accurate, and visually stunning images of a wide range of plants. Their publication, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," was a testament to their dedication to documenting the diverse flora of Europe and beyond, making it an invaluable resource for horticulturists, botanists, and plant enthusiasts of the time. This image of the Zenobia dahlia hybrid serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in nature, as well as the importance of preserving and documenting these natural wonders for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
