Single Early Tulip: Yellow Prince with Variegated Foliage
Arentine H. Arendsen, Dutch · 1881

Plate 73 from A. C. Van Eeden's *Flora of Haarlem*, illustrated by Arentine H. Arendsen. This hand-colored botanical print documents a cultivated tulip variety with characteristic striped foliage in cream and deep blue-green. The three blooms in varying stages demonstrate the flower's cup-shaped form and textured petals. Published in Haarlem—center of Dutch bulb cultivation—the work combines scientific precision with decorative presentation, typical of 19th-century horticultural documentation that served both gardeners and collectors.
