size antique lithograph of Orchids (
Laelia Grandis -TAB 33 ).from Frederick
Sander's 'Reichenbachia, Orchids Illustrated & Described', published
in 1888-1894. This work is considered by many to be the pinnacle of all
the orchid publications of the period. It was named after Heinrich Gustav
Reichenbach (1824-1889), a prominent botanist, ornithologist & orchid
fancier. Sander, a native of Ghent & founder of Messsrs Sanders of St
Albans, a large nursery firm, intended in this work to illustrate all
classes of orchids, drawn life sized & colored by lithography or hand
painted when found expedient.For the illustration of the work he engaged
the services of Henry Moon (1857-1905) and the lithographers Joseph
Mansell and Gustav Leutzsch. The picture does not do justice to this very bright colored lithograph |
