EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exotic and tropical Alocasia devansayana, also known as Colocasia devansayana. The image is a masterpiece created by the skilled hand of Belgian botanical illustrator Francois Stroobant for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels, published in 1885. The Alocasia devansayana is a member of the Araceae family, native to Southeast Asia, and is characterized by its large, arrow-shaped leaves and elegant white spathe and spadix. The lush foliage is a vibrant green, with veins that add texture and depth to the image. The intricate details of the plant are beautifully rendered, from the delicate fringes on the edge of the leaves to the veining on the spathe and spadix. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of color from lithographic stones, allows for a rich and vibrant color palette, bringing the Alocasia devansayana to life in a way that a photograph simply cannot. This botanical illustration is not only a work of art but also a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The Alocasia devansayana is a rare and exotic plant, and this image serves as a reminder of the wonders that can be found in the farthest reaches of the earth.
