About the Item
Botanical Illustration of Farfugium grande Leaf, 1854-1855 Lithograph Print
This lithograph with original hand coloring illustrates the striking foliage of the plant Farfugium grande, commonly known as the "Leopard Plant."
Produced between 1854 and 1855, this artwork is part of the celebrated botanical series *Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe*, curated by the eminent Belgian horticulturist Louis van Houtte. Known for his role in introducing exotic plants to European horticulture, Van Houtte's work documented the diverse range of plants collected globally, often focusing on their unique and ornamental qualities.
The Farfugium grande depicted here is native to China and is admired for its large, glossy leaves with distinctive yellow spots, resembling a leopard's skin, which gives the plant its common name.
The print showcases a detailed close-up of a single leaf, revealing its vivid green and yellow pattern, accompanied by a line drawing of the whole plant, illustrating the overall growth habit and structure.
The technique used in this artwork is lithography, enhanced with hand coloring to bring out the vibrant details of the leaf. This method was popular in the 19th century for its ability to combine artistic detail with accurate botanical representation.
The dimensions of the print are 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), and it remains in good condition, preserving the clarity and color that make these prints valuable both scientifically and aesthetically.
The careful attention to detail reflects the period's emphasis on combining beauty with botanical accuracy, making these prints highly sought after by collectors and botanists alike.
