EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the vibrant and exotic Impatiens roylei, commonly known as Royle's balsam or sweet orange impatiens. 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. Impatiens roylei is a beautiful and rare herbaceous perennial native to the Western Ghats of India. It is characterized by its unique orange-citrus scent, which is reminiscent of sweet oranges. The plant produces clusters of bright pink or purple flowers, which bloom profusely throughout the summer months. During the Victorian era, the cultivation of exotic plants was a popular pastime among the affluent classes. Botanical illustrations like this one were highly sought after, as they allowed people to appreciate the beauty and rarity of these plants in their own homes. Desire Bois' illustration captures the essence of Impatiens roylei in exquisite detail, from the intricately veined leaves to the delicate petals of the flowers. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed and vibrant images, enhanced the visual impact of the illustration. The rich colors and intricate details of the print make it a true work of art, and a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrator and the printing process. Today, Impatiens roylei remains a rare and coveted plant among horticulturists and collectors. This beautiful chromolithograph serves as a reminder of the fascination with exotic plants during the Victorian era and the important role that botanical illustrations played in documenting and preserving the natural world.
