EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a hybrid Abutilon pictum, also known as the pictured or painted Abutilon, a beautiful cross between Abutilon venosum and Abutilon striatum. The image is taken from an illustration by Desire Bois for Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The hybrid Abutilon pictum is a captivating plant, with its vibrant, velvety pink and white blooms that resemble a delightful fusion of hollyhock, alcea rosea, and althaea. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the plant's elegant, branching stems adorned with heart-shaped leaves and the striking, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in abundance. The Victorian era, during which this illustration was created, was a time of great fascination with horticulture and botanical exploration. Gardening was a popular pastime for the affluent, and the cultivation and collection of exotic and rare plants were highly prized. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the beauty and allure of the hybrid Abutilon pictum, which would have been a cherished addition to any Victorian garden or greenhouse. Desire Bois, the talented botanical illustrator, expertly captured the essence of this enchanting plant, using vibrant colors and meticulous detail to bring it to life on the page. The result is a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire gardeners and plant enthusiasts over a century later.
