Description
This beautiful orchid lithograph is from Robert Warner's work The Orchid Album, Comprising Coloured Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare, and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants. The work was published in London between 1882 and 1897. The illustrations for the work were done by John Nugent Fitch, the nephew of Walter H. Fitch.
This work was prolifically illustrated for orchid growers and lovers. It was produced as part of the Orchidelirium craze of the Victorian era. The work was to both accurately depict the orchids as well as describe their nomenclature and care. "Orchid hunting" was a treacherous sport and the volumes will often credit those who secured the specimens, often from difficult terrains in Central America, South America, and Asia.
Paper Size ~ 9 3/8" by 11 1/4"
