Cattleya Amethystoglossa - The Amethyst Lipped Cattleya

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

Revisit the Victorians’ fascination with the tropics through the beauty of this botanical artistry that illustrates Cattleya Amethystoglossa or The Amethyst Lipped Cattleya. This rare print comes from the landmark publication Reichenbachia: Orchids Illustrated and Described (1888-1894), which was curated by the famous "Orchid King," Henry Frederick Conrad Sander.

The print highlights the elegance of the Brazilian bifoliate Cattleya known for its waxen rose-colored petals and, more importantly, its unique trait of having an intense amethyst purple trilobate lip. With Sander's commitment to botanical accuracy and the superior quality of lithographic prints of the time, every minute detail in structure is captured flawlessly.
