EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the vibrant and iconic Californian poppy, Eschscholzia californica. The image is derived from an original illustration by Desire Bois, created for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Californian poppy, also known as the Mexican poppy or grandiflora, is native to the western United States and northern Mexico. With its distinctive orange-red to yellow-orange blooms and silky, fern-like foliage, this poppy has long been a favorite among gardeners and horticulturists. The intricate detail and rich colors of this chromolithograph beautifully capture the essence of the Californian poppy. The delicate veining on the petals, the subtle variations in hue, and the lifelike texture of the foliage all contribute to the overall effect. The Victorian-era illustration style adds an air of elegance and sophistication, making this a truly captivating piece for any botanical collection. The Californian poppy is not only admired for its beauty but also for its resilience. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in sunny conditions, making it a popular choice for gardens in its native habitat and beyond. The poppy's ability to bloom profusely in the spring and summer, attracting bees and other pollinators, is a testament to its importance in both the natural world and the horticultural realm. This chromolithograph serves as a timeless reminder of the enduring allure and significance of the Californian poppy.
