Antique chromo lithograph of the Cattleya "Victoria Regina" orchid, 1902

This colourful and detailed chromolithographic plate of the Cattleya "Victoria Regina" orchid comes from the 1902 edition of the Wiener Illustrierte Garten-Zeitung, the illustrated Viennese horticultural magazine published by the Austrian Kaiserlich-Königliche Gartenbau-Gesellschaft. 

The magazines were authored and edited by Alfred Burgerstein (1850-1929), a botanist, teacher and and secretary-general of the Gartenbaugesellschaft.

This exquisite 122-year-old plate is in excellent condition and comes with a pre-cut high quality matboard with a light sage-green coloured top layer. The matboard is acid-free, protecting the print. 

The image you see is a photograph of the actual item.
