EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Sweet Violet, Viola odorata, a beloved flower in the Viola genus. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by David Blair and later beautifully rendered in lithography by Hanhart for the publication "Medicinal Plants" by Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen in London, 1880. The Sweet Violet is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial plant that thrives in woodlands and shady areas. Its heart-shaped, scalloped leaves are covered in fine hairs, while its delicate, fragrant flowers bloom in clusters, displaying a captivating blend of purple, white, and pink petals. The Sweet Violet has a rich history, both as an ornamental plant and for its medicinal properties. In ancient Greece, the flowers were used to adorn the temples of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. In medieval Europe, the Sweet Violet was a popular ingredient in perfumes and herbal remedies, believed to alleviate symptoms of the common cold, sore throat, and melancholy. This botanical masterpiece, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and lithographers of the late 19th century. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world, while also reminding us of the rich history and cultural significance of the Sweet Violet.
