EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Louise von Baden variety of Azalea indica, also known as Rhododendron indicum. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868. The Azalea indica, Louise von Baden variety, is a stunning example of the rich diversity found within the world of rhododendrons. Its vibrant, velvety petals bloom in a captivating shade of pink, with a hint of red at the edges, creating a breathtaking display. The intricate details of the flower's veins and texture are expertly captured in this meticulously handcoloured lithograph. Rhododendrons, including the Azalea indica, are part of the Ericaceae family and are native to the eastern Himalayas, eastern China, and Japan. These plants have been cultivated for their ornamental value for centuries, and the Louise von Baden variety was named in honor of Princess Louise von Baden (1840-1923), the daughter of Grand Duke Leopold of Baden. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant contribution to the field of horticulture during the Victorian era. The work showcased the most beautiful and rarest plants from Europe and beyond, providing inspiration for gardeners and collectors alike. This stunning lithograph of the Louise von Baden Azalea indica is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the team behind this groundbreaking publication.
