EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Hemerocalle, also known as the orchid of the poor or lily of a day. The intricate details of each petal and leaf are brought to life in vibrant hues, showcasing the artistry and skill of both the original illustrator, William Jackson Hooker, and the engraver Swan.
The Poor-man's-orchid, or acute petaled schizanthus as it is scientifically known, is a stunning flower that blooms for just one day before withering away. Despite its ephemeral nature, this botanical wonder has been immortalized in this 19th-century print from Samuel Curtis's "Botanical Magazine."
Displayed against a simple white background, this Hemerocalle stands out as a symbol of fleeting beauty and transience in nature. Its graceful form and intricate patterns serve as a reminder to appreciate the small moments of splendor that surround us every day.
Whether you're an avid botany enthusiast or simply admire fine art prints, this piece from Bridgeman Images is sure to add a touch of elegance to any space. Let the timeless allure of this Hemerocalle print transport you to a bygone era when botanical illustrations were treasured for their scientific accuracy and artistic merit.
