| Maker | Henry Moon / Sander's 'Reichenbachia, Orchids Illustrated & Described' | |
| Year | London, 1888 - 1894 | |
| Description | Folio
size antique lithograph of Orchids ( Cattleya O'Brieniana ) 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 |
