EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handfinished chromolithograph showcases a vibrant collection of Lobelia species, including the Refulgent Lobelia (Lobelia fulgens), Showy Lobelia (Lobelia speciosa), Red-leaved Lobelia (Lobelia colorata), Downy Lobelia (L. puberula), and two other unidentified varieties. The illustration was created by the renowned botanical artist Jane Loudon and expertly reproduced as a chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys for Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published by William S. Orr in London in 1849. Lobelia is a diverse genus of herbaceous perennials, native to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These plants are characterized by their bell-shaped flowers, which come in various colors such as blue, red, pink, and white. The species depicted in this print display an impressive range of hues and textures, from the rich red leaves of Lobelia colorata to the downy white blooms of L. puberula. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing color prints during the 19th century, allowed for intricate detail and vibrant colors. This technique involved transferring multiple layers of color onto a single sheet of paper using a series of stone or metal plates. The result is a richly detailed and visually stunning image, such as the one presented here. This exquisite print not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical collection but also offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Lobelia and the artistic techniques of the past. With its rich history and captivating visual appeal, this chromolithograph is a must-have for botanical enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
