EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodcut print showcases the captivating beauty of the Kegels Odontoglossum orchid, scientifically known as Oncidium kegeljani, also referred to as Odontoglossum polyxanthum. The intricate details of this exotic flower are brought to life through the meticulous craftsmanship of Worthington G. Smith, as depicted in this illustration from Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1888. The Kegels Odontoglossum orchid is a mesmerizing tropical plant, with its vibrant, cascading blooms adorned with small, bright yellow flowers. The foliage is a rich, deep green, adding a lush contrast to the brilliant yellow hues of the flowers. This orchid is part of the Oncidium genus, which is characterized by their long-lasting, showy inflorescences. Woodcut printing, a technique that involves carving designs into wooden blocks and then inking and pressing the block onto paper, was a popular method for producing botanical illustrations during the late 19th century. The process allowed for intricate detail and precise lines, making it an ideal choice for capturing the complex structures of orchids like the Kegels Odontoglossum. This exquisite print not only serves as a testament to the artistry of Worthington G. Smith and the botanical illustration community of the late 1800s, but also highlights the allure and fascination that orchids continue to hold for plant enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
