Oxalis purpurata - Oxalis bowieana From: The garden. An illustrated weekly journal of horticulture in all its branches by William Robinson (editor). London, 1890, January - June, volume 37, plate 755. Chromolithograph by Guillaume Severeyns after painting by H.G. Moon (sheet 218 x 282 mm). Illustrated text enclosed. € 105
All gardeners owe an infinite debt of gratitude to William Robinson - founder of The Garden
(1871-1927) and Flora and Sylva (1903-05), and author of The English
Flower Garden (1883, etc.) and other works - who helped to break the tyranny
of formal bedding and, like Ruskin, drew attention to the beauties of the wild
garden. Among the artists whom he employed was Henry Moon, who struck a new and
personal, if not entirely healthy, note in botanical illustration. … (Blunt &
Stearn). From 1880 Henry George Moon’s plant portraits dominated the pages of
The Garden, a popular horticultural publication. Renowned for his lifelike
paintings of orchids, Moon appealed to Robinson because of his ability to sketch
flowers in a graceful, naturalistic style. The subtle colourings of his
paintings and simple arrangement of flowers were very unlike the more stylised
renderings that appeared in competitors’ publications. The beautiful
colour-plates were lithographed and printed by the Belgian firm G. Severeyns and
its successor J.L. Goffart, notable for their craftmanship.* Blunt & Stearn pp. 239-240; Nissen BBI 2264; B-P-H 391-10. |

| Oxalidaceae - Oxalis versicolor From: Flore des serres et des jardins de l’Europe by Charles Lemaire and others. Gand [Gent], Louis van Houtte, 1853, volume 8, plate 834. Chromolithograph by L. Stroobant finished by hand (sheet 237 x 158 mm). Text enclosed. € 45
The founder, publisher and part-editor of this lavish Belgian periodical was Louis
van Houtte, the propietor of the largest nursery of its time on the
continent. It appeared monthly for almost 40 years and was published by
his own printing office in the middle of the gardens, the Horto van
Houtteano. All the plants shown were for sale in his nursery and include
many exotics. The work is notable for the craftmanship of the Belgian
lithographers Severeyns, Stroobant and De Pannemaker, who had mastered the
art of colour-printing from stone. * Nissen BBI 2254; Great flower books p. 84; Stafleu & Cowan 15.921. |
