EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph depicts the beautiful Pansy, Viola tricolor, also known as Heartsease or Love-in-Idleness. 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 Victorian-era botanical illustration showcases the pansy in all its glory, with its distinctive tricolor petals arranged in a perfect rosette shape. The pansy is surrounded by other beloved flowers of the time, including Carnation, Dianthus, and Caryophyllus. The intricate details of the petals and leaves are beautifully rendered in vibrant colors, making this a stunning addition to any botanical collection. The pansy was a popular choice for Victorian gardens, and its ability to bloom in winter made it a favorite among gardeners. Its symbolism of remembrance and love made it a popular choice for Victorian bouquets and arrangements. Desire Bois was a renowned botanical illustrator of the time, known for his meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of his subjects. This chromolithograph is a testament to his skill and the beauty of the flowers he captured. The image transports us back to a time when gardening was a cherished pastime, and flowers held a special place in people's hearts and homes.
