EDITORS COMMENTS
Flowers from Bombay, India: A Vibrant and Exotic Arrangement This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Flowers from Bombay, India," showcases an enchanting assortment of blooms that once graced the pages of Emily Eden's "Flowers from an Indian Garden: Second Series: Hope." The illustration, produced by Breidenbach & Co in Dusseldorf during the 1860s, is a testament to the rich botanical diversity found in India during the colonial era. Emily Eden, an English aristocratic writer, novelist, and traveler, accompanied her brother George to India between 1836 and 1842. During her stay, she became captivated by the country's exotic flora and documented her observations through her illustrations. This particular arrangement includes several noteworthy species: the Flame Lily (Gloriosa superba), Black-eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia alata), Golden Champak (Magnolia champaca), and Lilac Hibiscus (Hibiscus lilacinus). The Flame Lily, with its fiery red and yellow petals, is a native of tropical Africa and Madagascar but was widely cultivated in India for its striking beauty. The Black-eyed Susan Vine, also known as the Blue Impatiens, boasts vibrant blue and yellow flowers with a distinctive black center. The Golden Champak, or Yellow Magnolia, is a large, fragrant tree native to South Asia, while the Lilac Hibiscus is a popular ornamental plant known for its delicate, lilac-colored blooms. This exquisite chromolithograph not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Indian botany during the colonial era.
