About the Item

Botanical Illustration of Begonia rex with Flowers, 1854-1855 Lithograph Print This exquisite lithograph with original hand coloring features the plant Begonia rex, commonly known in English as the "King Begonia." Created between 1854 and 1855, this artwork is part of the renowned botanical publication *Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe* by Louis van Houtte, a distinguished Belgian horticulturist of the nineteenth century. Van Houtte, known for his extensive plant collection, employed collectors to find rare and exotic plants worldwide. He then illustrated these discoveries, with many, like the Begonia rex, becoming iconic for their ornamental appeal. This particular illustration highlights the striking foliage of the Begonia rex, with heart-shaped leaves and delicate pink flowers, a plant native to the humid, warm climates and commonly found in greenhouse settings. The technique used for this illustration is lithography, a popular method in the 19th century for its ability to produce fine details and allow hand-coloring. The print measures 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches) and is in good condition, showcasing the vibrant colors and fine lines characteristic of high-quality botanical prints of the era. The careful rendering of textures and colors reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of the time, aimed at both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
