| Maker | Henry Moon / Sander's 'Reichenbachia, Orchids Illustrated & Described' | |
| Year | London, 1888 - 1894 | |
| Description | Folio
size antique print [lithograph] of Orchid 'Odontoglossum
Grande' 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 |
