EDITORS COMMENTS
Parma Violet: A Victorian Delight in Full Bloom This exquisite chromolithograph captures the enchanting beauty of the Parma Violet (Viola odorata var. parmensis and Viola alba hybrid), a beloved favorite from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The illustration was created by Desire Bois, a master of botanical art during the Victorian era. Parma Violets, also known as Tricolor Violets or Grandiflora Violets, are a hybrid of Viola odorata and Viola alba. They are characterized by their large, bi-colored flowers, which boast a distinctive sweet scent reminiscent of parma violets, a popular confection during the late 19th century. The flowers display a captivating tricolor pattern, featuring a dark purple center, white petals edged with purple, and a white eye. The Parma Violet was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, as it not only provided visual delight but also a delightful fragrance. The plant thrives in cooler climates and prefers partial shade, making it a perfect choice for English gardens. This stunning chromolithograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Parma Violet in all its glory. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the delicate beauty of the flower, from its velvety petals to the veining on its leaves. The rich colors and vibrant hues transport us back to a time when botanical illustrations were cherished for their artistic merit and educational value. As we admire this Victorian masterpiece, we are reminded of the enduring allure of the Parma Violet and the joy it brought to gardeners and flower enthusiasts over a century ago.
