EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Gold-rayed Lily of Japan, also known as Yamayuri or Lilium auratum. The elegant beauty of this flower is captured in exquisite detail by the skilled hand of Desire Bois, as featured in Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Gold-rayed Lily is a native of Japan and is renowned for its magnificent golden-yellow petals, which radiate out from a central cluster of dark red stamens. The flower is often compared to the Egyptian Waterlily, Nymphaea lotus var. rubra, and the Lotus, due to its large, radiant blooms and elegant, refined appearance. During the Victorian era, horticulture and botanical illustration reached new heights of sophistication and precision. This chromolithograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that characterized the field during this period. The rich colors and intricate textures of the Gold-rayed Lily are brought to life in this beautiful illustration, providing a glimpse into the world of exotic and rare flowers that captivated the imaginations of gardeners and collectors alike. The Gold-rayed Lily remains a popular and beloved flower in Japan, where it is often used in traditional art and culture. Its radiant beauty and grace continue to inspire artists, gardeners, and nature lovers around the world.
