EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph showcases a vibrant and captivating arrangement of various flowering plants, including the violet-coloured Indigo tree (Indigofera violacea), Coronilla-leaved Swainsonia (Swainsonia coronillaefolia), Crimson Glory Pea (Clianthus puniceus), Mr. Loudon's Adesmia (Adesmia loudonia), Scarlet Kennedya (Kennedya coccinea), and Large-keeled Physolobium (Physolobium carinatum). The illustration is derived from Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden or Ornamental Greenhouse Plants, published in London in 1849 by William S. Orr. The intricate details of each plant are brought to life through the skilled artistry of Henry Noel Humphreys, who handfinished this lithograph. The Indigo tree, with its violet hue, stands proudly at the center, its branches adorned with small, pink-purple flowers. The Coronilla-leaved Swainsonia boasts delicate, pink blooms that cascade from its slender stems. The Crimson Glory Pea displays its stunning, crimson-red flowers, shaped like bells, while the Mr. Loudon's Adesmia showcases its scarlet-red and yellow blossoms. The Scarlet Kennedya adds a burst of bright, fiery red to the arrangement, and the Large-keeled Physolobium contributes with its large, keeled pods. This beautiful and intricate artwork not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of the time but also highlights the captivating beauty of these unique and exotic plants. The chromolithograph process, which involved the transfer of an image from a stone to paper using multiple layers of color, allowed for the creation of rich, detailed, and vibrant images that continue to captivate and inspire us today.
