EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Begonia aconitifolia, also known as Begonia faureana. The image was created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator, A. Goossens, and masterfully brought to life in chromolithographic form by Pieter de Pannemaeker. The illustration was originally published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, a prestigious horticultural journal based in Brussels, in 1895. The Begonia aconitifolia is a tropical plant known for its elegant and intricately shaped leaves, which are a vibrant green with distinctive white veins. The plant's flowers are small and tubular, with a rich red color and a delicate, sweet fragrance. This begonia species is native to South America, specifically to the Andes Mountains of Ecuador and Peru. The chromolithograph captures the plant's beauty in meticulous detail, with each vein and petal rendered in vivid color. The background features a lush, green foliage, adding to the overall sense of tropical lushness and exoticism. The intricate shading and attention to detail in the illustration make it a true work of art, and a testament to the skill of the illustrator and printer. The Begonia aconitifolia was a popular plant among collectors and horticulturists in the late 19th century, and this chromolithograph would have been a prized possession for any botanical enthusiast. Today, the Begonia aconitifolia remains a beloved plant among gardeners and collectors, and this beautiful illustration continues to capture the imagination and admiration of all who see it.
