About the Item
This beautiful, original hand-colored orchid lithograph entitled "Trichosma Suavis" Orchids by John Nugent Fitch is plate 114 in Robert Warner's publication 'The Orchid Album, Comprising Coloured Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare, and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants', published in London between 1882 and 1897. The Orchid Album was illustrated by the master orchid illustrator, John Nugent Fitch. His original drawings are in the Natural History Museum in London. Trichosma Suavis orchids, also know as The Crowned Lip Eria, are found in nature in the eastern Himalayas, Assam, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, southern China and Vietnam.
The print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame embellished with a beaded inner trim and a cream-colored silk mat, a black inner mat and a gold fillet. There is one punctate spot in the lower margin on the right, but the print is otherwise in excellent condition. The original English descriptive text pages are included in a mylar sleeve attached to the back of the frame.
There are two other Fitch orchid lithographs framed and matted identically to this one that are listed on 1stdibs. Their reference ID's are: LU117327362252 and LU117327362402. They would make a striking display set of two or three. A discount is available for purchase of multiple prints.
John Nugent Fitch (1840-1927) was a British botanical illustrator and lithographer, best known for his contribution of 528 plates to The Orchid Album, but he also contributed to Curtis's Botanical Magazine from 1878. The striking beauty of Fitch's orchid illustrations contributed to orchid mania that swept through Victorian Britain. Huge greenhouses were built a time that Britain was experiencing very active foreign trade in exotic botanical specimens which led to a proliferation of illustrated periodicals for horticulturists at every level of experience. Many of the orchids illustrated by Fitch in his watercolors have since gone extinct and others are extremely rare.
