| Description | Folio
size antique lithograph of Orchids ( Odontoglossum Cervantesii
Decorum ) 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
painter Henry Moon (1857-1905) and the lithographers Joseph Mansell
and Gustav Leutzsch. The picture does not do justice to this very bright colored lithograph |
