Hippeastrum reginae Common names: Scarlet Amaryllis Plate 5810

A magnificent mid-19th-century botanical lithograph by W. Fitch, one of the era's preeminent botanical illustrators, printed by Vincent Brooks, Day & Son—the premier chromolithography house of the period. This plate exemplifies the golden age of botanical publishing, likely sourced from The Botanical Magazine during the Lovell Reeve era (1850s–1870s). The composition captures Hippeastrum reginae in exquisite detail: deep crimson petals with delicate veining, white-flecked throats, and characteristic long, strap-like foliage. A museum-quality specimen of 19th-century scientific illustration and decorative artistry combined. Authentic period print. Condition and availability subject to individual item assessment.
