EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph captures the allure and exotic beauty of the Alocasia longiloba foliage plant, also known as Alocasia putzeysii. Created by renowned Belgian botanical illustrator P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels in 1882, this lithograph showcases the lush, tropical foliage of this magnificent plant in intricate detail. The Alocasia longiloba, a member of the Araceae family, is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Its long, slender leaves, adorned with distinct white veins and glossy, dark green surfaces, are the focal point of this illustration. The plant's large, arrow-shaped leaves can grow up to 3 feet long, adding an air of drama and mystery to any garden or greenhouse setting. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing color prints during the late 19th century, allowed for the vibrant colors and intricate details seen in this illustration. The process involved creating separate plates for each color, which were then layered and printed one at a time to create a rich, multicolored image. This Alocasia longiloba foliage print is not only a testament to the artistic skill and innovation of the time but also serves as a reminder of the fascination with exotic plants and the natural world during the Victorian era. The intricate details of the veins and textures of the leaves, as well as the vibrant colors, transport us to a lush, tropical paradise, making it a must-have for any botanical art collection or greenhouse enthusiast.
