EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Amazon Lily, Eucharis amazonica, a captivating botanical treasure native to the Amazon Basin in South America. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857. The Amazon Lily, also known as the White Water Lily, is a rare and elusive aquatic plant that blooms only at night, releasing an intoxicating fragrance to attract pollinators. The delicate, white, funnel-shaped flowers, as depicted in this illustration, are borne on long stalks above the water surface and are often compared to the shape of a lily. The intricate details of the Amazon Lily's petals, veins, and stamen are masterfully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, providing a stunning representation of this elusive and alluring plant. The vibrant colours and meticulous shading bring the Lily to life, transporting viewers to the lush, exotic waters of the Amazon River. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, showcasing the dedication and passion of the horticultural community in documenting and preserving the natural world. The Amazon Lily remains an enduring symbol of the wonders of the natural world and continues to inspire awe and fascination among botanists, naturalists, and plant enthusiasts alike.
