EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the Tubergens tulip, Tulipa tubergeniana. Created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, this illustration is a testament to the intricate details and vibrant colors of this rare and enchanting tulip species. The Tubergens tulip, also known as Tulipa tubergeniana, is a botanical rarity that was first discovered in the mountainous regions of Central Asia in the late 19th century. With its unique and distinctive features, it quickly became a subject of fascination for botanists and horticulturists alike. Elsie Katherine Dykes, a talented botanical illustrator, captured the essence of this elusive flower in her silkscreen print, which was published in William R. Dykes' "Notes on Tulip Species" in 1930. Dykes was a renowned authority on tulips, and his comprehensive work on the various tulip species was considered a seminal reference in the field of botanical research. The illustration reveals the delicate intricacies of the Tubergens tulip's petals, which are adorned with intricate patterns and a striking contrast of colors. The outer petals are a rich, velvety red, while the inner petals are a soft, creamy white with red veins. The center of the flower is a vibrant yellow, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic bloom. The silkscreen technique used to create this illustration allowed Dykes to achieve a high level of detail and depth, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The use of rich, bold colors and precise lines brings the Tubergens tulip to life, making it a must-have for any botanical art collection or tulip enthusiast's library.
