About the Item
Caravata Plant Botanical Illustration by Louis van Houtte, 19th Century
This botanical illustration features Evelyna caravata, commonly known as the Caravata Plant, notable for its striking inflorescence and textured foliage. The artwork, measuring approximately 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), is part of the prestigious "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," a collection by Louis van Houtte, a prominent 19th-century Belgian horticulturist.
Van Houtte's series is well-regarded for its detailed and vibrant depictions of various plant species, showcasing both the artistic beauty and botanical accuracy of these illustrations.
The Evelyna caravata depicted here originates from Guiana, as indicated by the label "Guiane." The plant features prominently veined leaves and an exotic bloom with bright pink bracts and yellow flowers, typical of plants adapted to tropical climates.
The detailed botanical illustration also includes magnified sections of the flower structure, highlighting the intricate details of the plant's reproductive organs.
The term "serre chaude" indicates that this plant thrives in warm greenhouse conditions, which replicate its natural tropical habitat.
The lithograph, produced using the lithography technique with original hand coloring, captures the vibrant colors and fine details of the plant, illustrating the expertise and craftsmanship of Louis van Houtte's botanical illustrations.
The print is well-preserved, with the colors remaining bright and the details of the leaves and flowers clearly visible, reflecting the high quality and careful preservation of these historic works.

Measuring approximately 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), this print is part of the esteemed botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," curated by Louis van Houtte, a renowned 19th-century Belgian horticulturist.
