About the Item

Botanical Illustration of Colletia Ferox: Thorny Beauty from Chile This lithograph features the plant Colletia ferox, also known as the Anchor Plant or Crucifixion Thorn. Native to Chile, Colletia ferox is a distinctive shrub recognized for its sharp, triangular thorns and small, fragrant white or yellow flowers that bloom profusely, as depicted in the illustration. The plant's unusual structure, characterized by its thorny branches and lack of typical leaves, is well captured in this detailed artwork. The image originates from the esteemed 19th-century botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," curated by Louis van Houtte, a renowned Belgian horticulturist. Van Houtte's work is celebrated for its high-quality, accurate botanical illustrations, which served both scientific and decorative purposes. This lithograph is hand-colored, a common technique in the 19th century that enhanced the detail and realism of botanical illustrations. The artwork is in good condition, with vivid colors and clear lines, although some minor signs of aging, such as light foxing, are present, typical of antique prints. This piece is a fine example of the meticulous botanical studies conducted during this period, showcasing the diversity and beauty of plant life from around the world.
