Camellia Crimson Horticole Hybrid Japonica Linden Pannemaeker Thea Marchesa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration and lithograph depict the Crimson camellia hybrid, Marchesa Davia (Thea japonica), a beautiful and rare variety of camellia that was popular during the 1880s. The illustration was created by the renowned Belgian botanical artist, Pierre Joseph van der Stappen de Pannemaeker of Ghent, and was published in Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration, a prestigious botanical journal of the time. The Crimson camellia hybrid, Marchesa Davia, is a cross between two different camellia species, Thea japonica and Thea sinensis. This hybrid was named in honor of Marchesa Davia, an Italian noblewoman known for her love of horticulture. The crimson color of the petals is a result of the hybridization, making it a prized possession for gardeners and plant collectors of the late 19th century. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamen are expertly captured in this lithograph, showcasing the meticulous skill of P. de Pannemaeker. The illustration also includes the scientific name of the plant, Thea japonica, and the common name, Camellia, as well as the name of the hybrid, Marchesa Davia. Botanical illustrations and lithographs were an essential means of documenting new plant discoveries and sharing knowledge about plants during the 1800s. The publication of such detailed and accurate illustrations in botanical journals like Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration helped advance the field of botany and horticulture, and allowed for the exchange of ideas and information between botanists and gardeners around the world. This beautiful and historic illustration of the Crimson camellia hybrid, Marchesa Davia, is a testament to the importance of botanical art in documenting and preserving the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
