EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Periwinkle, 1877" showcases the intricate beauty of nature captured by Frederick Edward Hulme. The image is part of his renowned book "Familiar Wild Flowers" where he skillfully depicted and described various botanical wonders. Periwinkle, also known as Vinca, is a herbaceous trailing plant with medicinal qualities. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail of this enchanting flowerhead. Its vibrant purple petals contrast beautifully against the lush green leaves, creating a visually striking composition. Set against a clean white background in a studio setting, the periwinkle stands out as the main subject. Hulme's lithograph illustration not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also holds scientific significance. In the 19th century, when alternative medicine was gaining popularity, plants like periwinkle were valued for their herbal medicinal properties. This vintage print takes us back to a time when botany and literature intertwined seamlessly. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our natural heritage and appreciating its diverse offerings. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within personal collections, this timeless piece evokes admiration for both Hulme's talent and Mother Nature's creations.
