| Luite Klaver produced many lythographs of flowers and plants
for botanic books, such as the series "Plantentypen" by K.Siderius with
pendrawings by Luite Klaver edited by S.L.van Looy, Amsterdam,1899-1905
), or the album from 19054 by Ritzema Bosch.
These delicate lythographs show his love and knowledge of plants. Every single drawing is a small masterpiece of composition, form and colour emanating a whiff of mystery. You have to look at japanese woodblock prints, the ukyoo
ee, to find botanic drawings of this level. Luite
collected these prints and was influenced by them.
