Cattleya Malouana by Jean Jules Linden - Postcard

Cattleya Malouana is a historic botanical orchid illustration associated with Belgian botanist, horticulturist and orchid specialist Jean Jules Linden (1817–1898). Created within the period 1885–1906, the plate presents the orchid in remarkable botanical detail, showing its delicate pink flowers, elongated green leaves and distinctive pseudobulbs against a light, uncluttered ground.

The work is associated with Lindenia — Iconographie des Orchidées, the celebrated publication devoted to the study and documentation of orchids under the direction of Jean Jules Linden. Its richly coloured plates helped establish a lasting visual record of the extraordinary diversity of cultivated and collected orchids.

The historical name Cattleya Malouana was published by Linden in 1885; in modern botanical taxonomy, the name is treated as a synonym of Cattleya maxima. Reproduced as a fine-art botanical postcard, this elegant plate is a beautiful choice for lovers of orchids, botanical illustration, natural history and nineteenth-century horticultural art.
