EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exotic beauty of Geranium aralia, also known as Polyscias guilfoylei and previously classified as Panax victoriae. Captured in meticulous detail by the skilled hand of Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels, published in 1884, this artwork showcases the captivating allure of this tropical plant. The Geranium aralia, a member of the Araliaceae family, is native to the forests of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Its lush foliage, a vibrant green hue, cascades down the stem in a lacy, fern-like pattern. The plant's small, white flowers bloom in clusters, adding an ethereal touch to its already impressive appearance. The intricate illustration highlights the delicate veining on the leaves, the subtle textures of the foliage, and the intricacies of the flower buds. The chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing high-quality, detailed botanical illustrations during the late 19th century, allowed for the rich colors and fine lines to be rendered with remarkable accuracy. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of Pieter de Pannemaeker and the meticulous work of Jean Linden's team, but also as a window into the exotic, tropical world of the late 19th century. The Geranium aralia, with its alluring foliage and delicate flowers, continues to captivate plant enthusiasts and collectors alike, making this illustration a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
