Lilium Thunbergianum Aureum Maculatum

Plate 76 from A. C. Van Eeden's Flora of Haarlem, illustrated by Dutch artist Arentine H. Arendsen. This hand-colored chromolithograph depicts a specimen of Japanese lily with characteristic trumpet-form flowers in golden yellow and orange tones, spotted with deep red markings. The illustration shows multiple blooms at various stages—from closed buds to fully opened flowers—with the plant's narrow, striated foliage rendered in soft greens and darker tones. The botanical study exemplifies 19th-century scientific illustration practices, combining precise botanical documentation with aesthetic chromolithographic technique.
