Cypripedium Niveum - The Snow-White Paphiopedilum

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

Experience the legacy of the ‘Orchid King’ with this magnificent rendering of the Cypripedium Niveum. Taken from Reichenbachia, the encyclopedic work of Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, this lithograph highlights the graceful, snowy white glossiness of this unique Thai Slipper Orchid. With its elaborate patterned spotting and lush green marbling on its leaves, it makes a valuable scientific documentation as well as an elegant interior decoration piece for modern-day naturalists.

This lithograph brings to life the compact nature of the plant and the exceptional glossy bloom that stands out against the earthy green of its marbled foliage. It represents the fascination of the Victorian era with exotic tropical plants.
