EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Chilean bellflower, or copihue, Lapageria rosea (Lapegeria rosea), as beautifully rendered in a botanical drawing by the English aristocratic writer and traveler, Emily Eden. The image is taken from the 'Second Series: Hope' of her 'Flowers from an Indian Garden,' published by Breidenbach & Co in Dusseldorf during the 1860s. Emily Eden, an accomplished novelist and poet, accompanied her brother George to India between 1836 and 1842. During her time in India, she developed a keen interest in the natural world and documented her observations through her botanical illustrations. This representation of the Chilean bellflower is a testament to her artistic talent and dedication to capturing the essence of the flora she encountered. The Chilean bellflower, also known as copihue, is a rare and beautiful plant native to the Andes Mountains in Chile. Its delicate, bell-shaped flowers bloom in vibrant shades of pink, red, and white, and only emerge for a brief period during the winter months. This fleeting bloom has held great cultural significance for the indigenous people of Chile, who believe that the flowers represent love and renewal. This Victorian-era chromolithograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and inspiration. The artistry of Emily Eden's botanical drawings continues to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the smallest of details in nature.
