EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the iconic Poinsettia plant, scientifically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima, in all its holiday glory. The image is based on an illustration by Lena Lowis, a British woman artist who traveled extensively with her husband, Lt.-Col. Ninian Lowis, to India in the late 19th century. The illustration was published in Lowis's book "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," which was released by L. Reeve in London in 1878. The Poinsettia, native to Mexico, was named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Ambassador to Mexico, who introduced the plant to the US in 1825. The plant's bright red bracts and green leaves have long been associated with the Christmas season, making it a popular holiday plant. The intricate details of the Poinsettia's leaves and bracts are beautifully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, which was executed by D. Blair. The use of vibrant colors adds to the plant's festive appeal, making it a true work of art. Lena Lowis's illustrations in "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates" were praised for their accuracy and beauty, reflecting her keen observation skills and artistic talent. Her travels to India provided her with a wealth of inspiration, and her work showcases the diverse flora of the subcontinent. This Poinsettia print is a testament to the beauty and richness of natural history illustration during the Victorian era and serves as a reminder of the important role that travel and exploration played in advancing scientific knowledge and artistic expression.
