EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph depicts a stunning array of Vervain or Verbena species, showcasing their vibrant colors and intricate details. The illustration, created by Jane Loudon for her book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, was later reproduced by Henry Noel Humphreys using the chromolithograph process. The Verbena family is known for its diverse range of plants, and this print captures several notable species. The Scarlet Buenos Ayres Vervain (Verbena bonariensis) is depicted in fiery red, while the Verbena Melindres (Verbena melindres) displays a more subdued, bluish hue. The Germander-like Vervain (Verbena teucroides) and Bluish Vervain (Verbena caerulescens) are also featured, their delicate petals and verdant foliage captured with remarkable precision. Additionally, the print includes the Verbena Tweediana, or Mr. Tweedie's Vervain, with its striking blue-purple flowers, and the Verbena Caerulescens, or Blue Vervain, with its spiky, blue-violet blooms. The chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing color prints during the 19th century, allowed for the intricate details and rich colors seen in this print. This image serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Vervain family, and is a must-have for any botanical art collection. The delicate interplay of color, form, and detail make this a truly enchanting work of art, transporting the viewer to a world of natural wonder.
