About the Item
Natal Squill Botanical Illustration by Louis van Houtte, 19th Century
This botanical illustration features Scilla natalensis, commonly known as Natal Squill, a bulbous plant known for its striking inflorescence. The artwork, measuring approximately 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), is part of the renowned "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," a collection by Louis van Houtte, a distinguished 19th-century Belgian horticulturist.
Van Houtte's work is celebrated for its detailed and vibrant depictions of plant species, illustrating both the aesthetic beauty and botanical accuracy of the plants.
The Scilla natalensis depicted here is native to the Port Natal region, as indicated by the label "Port Natal," which refers to an area in South Africa.
dsfThis plant is characterized by its thick bulb, which serves as a storage organ, and its tall, erect stem that supports a dense cluster of small, star-shaped blue flowers. The illustration provides a detailed view of the plant's bulb, stem, and flowers, capturing the various stages of development from bud to bloom.
The term "châssis froid" suggests that this plant can be cultivated in cool frames, a method used to protect plants and extend their growing season in temperate climates.
The lithograph, produced using the lithography technique with original hand coloring, captures the delicate hues and intricate details of the plant, showcasing the meticulous artistry and scientific interest that characterize Louis van Houtte's botanical illustrations.
The print is well-preserved, with the colors still vibrant and the fine details clearly defined, reflecting the quality and care taken in the preservation of these historic botanical works.
