Exquisite Botanicals from Revue Horticole: A 19th-Century Garden Showcase

About the Item

Magnificent Botanical Chromolithographs from Revue Horticole, Circa 1885 Artist and Lithographer Details: - Artist (Del. - Delineavit): The mention of "Godard del." signifies that the artist who drew or designed the prints is referred to as Godard. In art, "del." is an abbreviation for "delineavit," meaning "he/she drew it." This term indicates that Godard was responsible for the original drawing from which the lithograph was made. - Lithographer (Chromolith. by G. Severeijns): The term "chromolith. by G. Severeijns" identifies G. Severeijns as the lithographer who produced the color lithographs. Chromolithography is a method for making multi-color prints, known for its ability to vividly reproduce color and detail, which was particularly valued for botanical illustrations. Details of the Prints and Plants: First Print - Tritoma Saundersi: Botanical Name: Tritoma Saundersi Common English Name: Saunders' Red Hot Poker Description: Known for its cylindrical, densely flowered spikes that are orange to red in color, this plant is prized in ornamental horticulture for its dramatic flowering spikes that add a burst of color to gardens. Second Print - Tritoma caulescens: Botanical Name: Tritoma caulescens Common English Name: Caulescent Red Hot Poker Description: This species features robust, upright inflorescences with vibrant red and yellow flowers. It's valued for its striking appearance and its ability to thrive in a variety of climates, making it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add visual impact. Third Print - Encephalartos villosus: Botanical Name: Encephalartos villosus Common English Name: Woolly Cycad Description: This cycad is distinguished by its thick trunk and arching, pinnate leaves. Cycads like this are ancient plants that add a prehistoric feel to landscapes, highly sought after for their unique, architectural foliage. Based on your detailed context and the estimated publication year of 1885, here is a revised and complete description for the collection of botanical prints from "Revue Horticole": --- Magnificent Botanical Chromolithographs from Revue Horticole, Circa 1885 In the latter part of the nineteenth century, an era marked by the zenith of botanical exploration, "Revue Horticole" emerged as a premier publication, beautifully marrying art and science. Founded in 1829, this Parisian journal was initially inspired by the authors of "du Bon Jardinier," and it catered to a growing audience of botanical art collectors and horticultural enthusiasts. By 1885, the publication had perfected the art of chromolithography—a technique involving up to 20 different lithographic stones for each color separation—to produce some of the most vivid and detailed representations of flora ever printed. The illustrations, crafted by notable artists such as Godard and expertly lithographed by G. Severeijns, showcase an exquisite array of botanical specimens. These prints feature plants like the Tritoma Saundersi, commonly known as Saunders' Red Hot Poker, and the Encephalartos villosus, or Woolly Cycad, highlighting their unique botanical and aesthetic characteristics. Such illustrations not only served as a tool for scientific study but also as a testament to the artistic capabilities of the period. "Revue Horticole" was particularly known for its focus on the spectacular rather than the mundane, choosing to illustrate showy plants that would be more likely found in the ornamental gardens of its readership. This strategic choice reflected a broader trend in botanical publications of the time, which sought to blend utility with beauty, providing gardeners and botanists alike with a source of inspiration and practical information. These prints, now held in esteem at institutions like the Kew Gardens—referred to as the queen of the world's herbaria—remain a vital part of the historical record. They reflect not only the scientific knowledge of the era but also an unparalleled artistic endeavor that continues to fascinate and inform audiences today. **Key Features:** - **Publication Year**: Circa 1885 - **Journal**: Revue Horticole, founded in 1829 - **Technique**: Advanced chromolithography with up to 20 color separations - **Contributors**: Godard (artist), G. Severeijns (lithographer) - **Notable Specimens**: Tritoma Saundersi, Encephalartos villosus - **Context**: Peak of botanical exploration and artistic expression in printmaking This comprehensive description aims to encapsulate the significance of "Revue Horticole" as a hallmark of both botanical documentation and chromolithographic artistry during a pivotal time in the history of botanical sciences and horticulture.
