About the Item
Historic Orchids: A 1904 Catalogue Illustration
The images are original antique botanical prints from the book 'Abbildungen der in Deutschland und den angrenzende Gebieten vorkommenden Grundformen der ORCHIDEEN-ARTEN' by Walter Müller, published by R.Friedländer & Sohn in Berlin, 1904. These prints depict two species of orchids with high botanical detail.
The first print shows the orchid species Calypso bulbosa. The illustration includes several flowers in different stages of bloom, as well as a full depiction of the underground bulb and root system. The petals and sepals are shown in delicate shades of pink and white, with intricate speckles and patterns, indicating the unique coloration of this species. The lip of the orchid, also known as the labellum, is particularly detailed, showcasing the structure that typically aids in pollination.
The second print illustrates the orchid species Cephalanthera rubra. This depiction includes a stem with multiple flowers and buds, a detailed view of an individual flower from different angles, and the root system. The flowers are rendered in a deeper pink or red color, true to the species name 'rubra', which suggests a red hue. The leaves are long, narrow, and have a prominent central vein, typical of many orchid species.
Both prints are excellent examples of the detailed botanical art common in the early 20th century, aimed at both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. They serve as valuable references for botanists and orchid enthusiasts, providing insight into the morphology and structure of these orchids.
