- Lot Description
Artist: Berthe Hoola van Nooten (Dutch, 1817-1892). Lithographer: Guillaume Severeyns (Belgian, 1830-). Publisher: P. Depannemaeker (active mid 19th century). "Tradescantia Discolor" from "Fruits et Feuillages Choisis de la Flore et de la Pomone de L'ile de Java" (1863). A very rare chromolithograph of Tradescantia discolor (also known as the Boatlily or Moses-in-the-Cradle) - a leafy plant of plum and deep green hues with separate numbered sections of inflorescence, flower, and fruit with seed. This botanical print is from the rare FIRST EDITION of the album entitled, "Fruits et Feuillages Choisis de la Flore et de la Pomone de L'ile de Java" with French and English text. Size: 22.25" L x 16.75" W (56.5 cm x 42.5 cm) Size of matte: 25.5" L x 18.5" W (64.8 cm x 47 cm)
This composition was printed from Berthe Van Nooten's original sketches by P. Depannemaeker. Chromolithography was by Guillaume Severeyns. Born in Utrecht, Holland in 1817, Berthe Hoola van Nooten was a botanist, an author, and a watercolorist. In 1847 van Nooten relocated to Indonesia, where she painted more than 40 different fruits and flowers which became the basis for this album.
Handwritten notes on verso of matte attest to the identification and medium. In addition, the notes describe the plant as follows, "Most commonly found in India, Africa, and Central America the boot lily is a richly colored perennial that most likely originated in America."
Provenance: private Lucille Lucas collection, Crested Butte, Colorado, USA
