EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting beauty of Nerium oleander, also known as Nerium odorum or common oleander. The image is based on an illustration created by the accomplished British artist, Lena Lowis, during her travels to India with her husband, Lt.-Col. Ninian Lowis, in the late 19th century. Lena Lowis, formerly Selena Caroline Shakespear, was a gifted artist who gained recognition for her exquisite botanical illustrations. Her work was published in her book, "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," which showcased the vibrant and diverse flora of India. This particular illustration of Nerium oleander was produced by the skilled hand of D. Blair, using the lithographic process. The Nerium oleander is a popular ornamental plant, known for its attractive, fragrant white or pink flowers. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region but has been cultivated extensively in India and other tropical regions for its beauty and hardiness. The delicate petals of the flower are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, creating a visually stunning display. The handcolouring of this lithograph adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the image, bringing out the intricacies of the flower's structure and the richness of its colour. The result is a captivating and lifelike representation of the Nerium oleander, which transports the viewer to the exotic and enchanting world of Indian botanical beauty.
