EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the Bokhara tulip, Tulipa montana (Tulipa linifolia. The illustration is a masterpiece created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, showcasing her exceptional talent and dedication to botanical art. The Bokhara tulip, also known as the Persian tulip, is a rare and exotic species native to Central Asia, specifically in the Bokhara region of Uzbekistan. The illustration reveals the intricate details of the tulip's unique features. The large, velvety petals are adorned with intricate veining and a subtle sheen, while the vibrant, deep red color is a striking contrast against the delicate green leaves. The long, narrow leaves are lined with fine, white hairs, adding to the plant's distinctive appearance. Elsie Katherine Dykes' illustration of the Bokhara tulip is a testament to her exceptional skill and artistry. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of the plant make this a truly breathtaking work of art. The silkscreen technique used in the illustration adds an additional layer of texture and depth, making the tulip appear almost three-dimensional. This illustration was created as part of William R. Dykes' "Notes on Tulip Species," published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. Dykes was a renowned horticulturist and tulip expert, and his publication was a groundbreaking work in the field of tulip taxonomy. The illustrations in the book, including this one of the Bokhara tulip, were an essential component of Dykes' work, providing accurate and detailed records of the various tulip species for botanical research and conservation efforts.
