EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Symphony of Stocks: A Chromolithograph Celebration of Matthiola Species" This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph, created by Henry Noel Humphreys after an illustration by Jane Loudon, showcases a stunning array of Matthiola species, including Brompton stock (Matthiola incana), Great sea stock (Matthiola sinuata), and various double garden varieties, as well as Cheiranthus cheiri. This image is taken from "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published by William S. Orr in London during 1849. The Matthiola genus, commonly known as stocks, is a group of annual and perennial herbs native to the Mediterranean region. They are renowned for their vibrant, fragrant flowers, which come in a wide range of colors, from deep purples and rich reds to delicate pinks and soft whites. The intricately detailed illustration highlights the beauty and diversity of these plants, each variety showcased in its full glory. Brompton stock, with its rich, velvety purple blooms, is depicted in the foreground, while Great sea stock, with its elegant, sinuous petals, graces the background. The double garden varieties, with their full, ruffled blossoms, add a touch of elegance and refinement to the composition. Cheiranthus cheiri, or double sweet alyssum, is also included, its tiny, double white flowers adding a delicate contrast to the larger, showier stocks. This chromolithograph is a testament to the artistry and skill of both Humphreys and Loudon, who captured the essence of these enchanting flowers in a way that continues to captivate and inspire gardeners and flower lovers alike. The intricate details, rich colors, and harmonious composition make this a truly timeless work of art.
