"This stunning antique botanical print features the beautiful Ismene Calathina, commonly known as the White Peruvian Daffodil. It hails from Louis Van Houtte's renowned work, Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe, published between 1845 and 1883. Van Houtte was a celebrated horticulturist, and the journal served as a showcase for the most desirable botanicals of the era, including vibrant orchids, roses, and exotic flowers.
This hand-colored lithograph captures the delicate texture and detail of the Ismene Calathina, with its distinctive white petals and pearly throat, marked by pointed, apple-green leaves.
Dimensions: Approximately 9.5 X 6.5 inches.
The print is clean with no foxing or tears, and has been carefully removed from the book, without spoiling the print. Please scrutinize the image to confirm its condition before ordering.
It will be shipped flat.
For the decorator or collector seeking white flowers and green leaves for their “White” botanical
Collection, this is a beautiful print that almost fills the page with its dramatic image of a perfectly open bloom, and its powdery yellow stamens.
