This beautiful, original hand-colored orchid lithograph entitled "Lycaste Harrisoniae Eburnea" Orchids by John Nugent Fitch is plate 100 in Robert Warner's publication 'The Orchid Album, Comprising Coloured Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare, and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants', published in London between 1882 and 1897. The Orchid Album was illustrated by the master orchid illustrator, John Nugent Fitch. His original drawings are in the Natural History Museum in London. Lycaste Harrisoniae Eburnea orchids, also know as Harrison's Bifrenaria, are found in nature in the coastal region of Brazil.
The print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame embellished with a beaded inner trim and a cream-colored silk mat, a black inner mat and a gold fillet. There is a faint spot on the right and another on the left, but the print is otherwise in excellent condition. The original English descriptive text pages are included in a mylar sleeve attached to the back of the frame.
