EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcolored lithograph depicts a Marguerite daisy flower fairy, graciously named Argyranthemum frutescens, frolicking amongst the vibrant blooms of her namesake flower. The image is taken from "Les Fleurs Parlantes" or "The Talking Flowers," a captivating series of botanical illustrations created by Louis Lassalle under the direction of Louise Leneveux. Published in Paris by Louis Janet in 1848, this collection of flower fairies brought whimsy and magic to the world of botanical art. Argyranthemum frutescens, commonly known as the Marguerite daisy, is a beloved flower native to the Mediterranean region. With its iconic white petals and yellow center, it has long been a symbol of innocence and purity. In this illustration, the flower fairy adds an extra layer of enchantment to the already beautiful bloom. The intricate details of Argyranthemum frutescens and the fairy are brought to life through the handcoloring technique, which was a popular method during the 19th century. Each color was carefully applied by hand, resulting in a rich and vibrant image that captures the essence of the flower and the fairy. This exquisite piece of historical art not only showcases the natural beauty of the Marguerite daisy but also transports us to a time when imagination and wonder were celebrated. The Marguerite daisy flower fairy, Argyranthemum frutescens, invites us to explore the magical world hidden within the petals of this beloved flower.
