The Ending of the nineteenth century produced magnificent publications
brought about through the impetus of botanical exploration, which reached
its peak just before the turn of the century. The body of art and science
were tightly interwoven. It was a time when the natural sciences spawned the
most artful expression of the printer's craft ever achieved. Painters of
flowers are perhaps more numerous than painters of birds. Certainly, their
folios of original paintings and drawings are in every herbarium, such as
Kew in England, the queen of the world's herbaria. The last quarter of the
nineteenth century gave rise to the development of the many -stone
chromolithographic process in which as many as 20 different litho stones or
color separations had to be prepared. A botanical publication which rivaled
others of the era was REVUE HORTICOLE published in Paris France
founded in 1829 by the authors of "du Bon Jardinier" The
publishers had witnessed from personal experience that collectors of
botanical art refused to buy folio pictures of unassuming plants but felt
that they would subscribe to an octavo work which pictured the showy plants
that filled their gardens; from this premise was born REVUE HORTICOLE -
Journal D'horticulture.
The Revue Horticole contributing artists: Riocreux
deLongpre, Cursin, Faguet, Stroobant, Godard and others are given high
praises in GREAT FLOWER BOOKS 1700 - 1900 A Bibliographical Record of Two
centuries of Finely-Illustrated Flower Books BySACHEVERELL SITWELL and
WILFRID BLUNT "The works of these artists and others of the nineteenth
century French school of botanical artists, and, these for delicacy and
accuracy can hardly be excelled" p.61. The works of these artists are
given high praise on the following pages of this noted Botanical Reference
book:61,79,83,88,96,111, 159. Strobant and Severens are listed as the
chromolithographers of choice in France during this period on pages:
70,77,89,93,101,103,148,159160,161. .
Perhaps the most illustrious of the contributing artists to Revue Horticole
was Paul de Longpre. His botanical paintings and chromolithographs command a
premium price. Thirteen of the Twenty-Four prints from the 1889 collection
are by de Longpre.
