EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two vibrant and exotic flowers native to India: the Jungle Geranium (Ixora coccinea) and the Yellow Oleander (Thevetia neriifolia, Cascabela thevetia). The image is based on a botanical drawing by Emily Eden, an English aristocratic writer, novelist, and traveler who accompanied her brother George in India between 1836 and 1842. The flowers are captured in all their glory, with the Jungle Geranium displaying its bright red bracts and star-shaped flowers, while the Yellow Oleander boasts its yellow, bell-shaped blooms. Emily Eden's "Flowers from an Indian Garden: Second Series: Hope" was published by Breidenbach & Co in Dusseldorf during the 1860s. This Victorian-era chromolithograph showcases the intricate details and rich colors of the flowers, transporting us back in time to the lush gardens of India. The artistry of the chromolithograph process is evident in the delicate shading and precise lines, making this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. Eden's travels in India provided her with a wealth of inspiration for her writing and her botanical pursuits. Her vivid descriptions of the natural world and her appreciation for its beauty are reflected in this exquisite image. The Jungle Geranium and Yellow Oleander continue to captivate us with their vibrant colors and alluring forms, making this a timeless work of art and a testament to the beauty of nature.
