EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Prickly Pear or Indian Fig Opuntia, scientifically known as Opuntia ficus-indica (also referred to as Opuntia vulgaris), a captivating cactus native to Mexico and Central America. The vibrant illustration is an exquisite example from Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The image is the work of Desire Bois, a renowned botanical illustrator of the Victorian era. The Prickly Pear Cactus is easily recognizable by its flat, paddle-shaped, glossy green leaves covered in small, sharp spines. The plant's name derives from the edible fruit, which resembles a pear and is rich in nutrients. The fruit is not only a traditional food source for people in its native regions but also for various wildlife. The chromolithograph showcases the plant's intricate details, from the tiny hairs on the leaves to the delicate veins and the spines. The background is adorned with Japanese Aralia (Fatsia japonica), adding an exotic touch to the illustration. This beautiful combination of Opuntia and Fatsia is a testament to the interconnectedness of the botanical world during the late 19th century. The Prickly Pear Cactus has been an essential part of horticulture for centuries due to its unique appearance, adaptability, and edible fruit. This image serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge and artistic skill that flourished during the Victorian era.
