EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the vibrant foliage of Episcia reptans, also known as Cyrtodeira fulgida. The image was meticulously drawn and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels, Belgium, in 1873. Episcia reptans is a tropical, exotic plant native to Central and South America. Its foliage is characterized by its rich, glossy green color and distinctive veining, which adds to its allure. The plant's leaves are ovate to elliptical in shape and have a waxy texture, giving them a lustrous appearance. The chromolithograph captures the intricate details of the foliage, from the tiny hairs on the leaf surface to the delicate veins that crisscross the leaves. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to paper using multiple colors, allowed for a high level of detail and vibrancy in the final print. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of Episcia reptans but also serves as a testament to the advanced printing techniques of the late 19th century.
