EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the Queen Emma variety of Odontoglossum crispum orchid, a tropical flower renowned for its exotic beauty. Drawn by the skilled hand of C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker, this illustration was originally published in Lucien Linden's "Iconography of Orchids" in 1902. The Queen Emma variety of Odontoglossum crispum is named after Queen Emma of Hawaii, who was known for her love of horticulture and her extensive orchid collection. The Odontoglossum crispum is a popular orchid species, prized for its large, vibrant flowers that bloom in clusters. In this illustration, the delicate petals of the Queen Emma variety are depicted in rich shades of pink and white, with intricate veining and a subtle sheen that adds to its allure. The background of the illustration features lush, green foliage, reminiscent of the hothouse environment in which these exotic flowers thrive. The history of orchid cultivation and illustration is a fascinating one, with botanical artists and collectors traveling the world to discover new species and document their findings. Lucien Linden's "Iconography of Orchids" was a groundbreaking work, featuring over 1,000 illustrations of orchids from around the globe. This particular illustration is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, and a reminder of the important role that botanical illustration plays in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
