EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Golden Calla Lily, scientifically known as Richardia Elliottiana, also referred to as the Golden Arum Lily or Yellow Canna. The illustration is an exquisite example of botanical art from the 1880s, created by Jean Linden for the renowned French horticultural journal, Illustration Horticole. The Golden Calla Lily is a rare and captivating plant, characterized by its vibrant yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that resemble the more commonly known Calla Lily, but with a distinct golden hue. This botanical beauty is native to South America, specifically to the Andes Mountains of Ecuador and Peru. The intricate details of the plant's veined leaves and delicate petals are masterfully captured in this chromolithograph, a printing process that allowed for the creation of rich, detailed images through the layering of multiple colors. The use of this technique in botanical illustration during the late 19th century allowed for a level of detail and accuracy that was previously unattainable. The Golden Calla Lily was a popular subject for botanical artists and collectors during this time, as the discovery and exploration of new plant species from around the world fueled a growing interest in horticulture and natural history. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and allure of the natural world, as well as the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrators of the past. This historical image offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the fascination with the natural world that continues to this day. The Golden Calla Lily remains a rare and enchanting plant, a reminder of the wonders that can be found in the most unexpected places.
