EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handfinished chromolithograph depicts various species of the Flax or Linum genus, showcasing their exquisite beauty and diversity. The illustration is based on an original drawing by Jane Loudon and was expertly reproduced by Henry Noel Humphreys for Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published in London in 1849 by William S. Orr. The Linum genus, which includes over 200 species, is native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean. The plants in this illustration include Clammy Flax (Linum hypericifolium), One-styled Flax (Linum monogynum), Blue-and-White Flax (Linum ascyrifolium), Siberian Flax (Linum sibiricum), Yellow Flax (Linum flavum), Alpine Flax (Linum alpinum), and Linum narbonense. Each species is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting their unique characteristics. Clammy Flax, for instance, is depicted with its distinctive sticky leaves, while One-styled Flax is shown with its solitary style. Blue-and-White Flax is illustrated with its striking blue and white flowers, and Siberian Flax is depicted with its silvery-gray leaves and pink flowers. The chromolithograph process used to create this print involved the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to a sheet of paper using multiple layers of color. The result is a vibrant and detailed image that captures the essence of these enchanting flowers. The handfinished touch adds a personal and artistic touch to the print, making it a treasured addition to any botanical collection.
