EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the delicate beauty of Disa lacera var. multifida, a rare blue orchid variety native to Cape Town, South Africa. Illustrated by Matilda Smith in the late 19th century, this botanical print showcases the intricate details of the flower with precision and artistry.
The vibrant hues of blue and green pop against the white background, drawing attention to the unique shape and structure of each petal. J.N. Fitch's skilled lithography brings out the depth and texture of the orchid, making it appear almost lifelike on paper.
Published in London by L. Reeve and Co in 1889 as part of Curtis Botanical Magazine curated by Joseph Dalton Hooker, this print is not only a visual delight but also a valuable piece of botanical history. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders and our continuous quest for knowledge about various plant species around the world.
As you gaze upon this exquisite artwork, let yourself be transported to a time when explorers ventured into unknown lands in search of new flora to study and admire. The legacy of artists like Matilda Smith lives on through prints like these, preserving the beauty and diversity of our natural world for generations to come.
