EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-finished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, based on an illustration by Jane Loudon from her seminal work "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, showcases a stunning array of Lychnis and Campions. The vibrant red hues of the Scarlet Lychnis (Lychnis chalcedonica), Chinese Lychnis (Lychnis coronata), and Fulgent Lychnis (Lychnis fulgens) are a feast for the eyes, their petals radiating out from the center like a burst of sun. Adjacent to these Lychnis species, the Bunges Scarlet Campion (Agrostemma bungeana) and Rose Campion (Agrostemma coronaria) display their delicate pink blooms, adding a soft contrast to the fiery reds. The Glutinous Soapwort (Saponaria glutinosa) and Calabrian Soapwort (Saponaria calabrica) are also depicted, their white flowers providing a subtle balance to the overall composition. Gypsophylla prostrata, or Gypsophila, completes the scene with its delicate, round, white flowers that cascade down the stem. The intricate details of each flower, from their veined petals to the fine lines of their stems, are masterfully captured in this beautiful print. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic talent of Henry Noel Humphreys and Jane Loudon but also provides a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the Victorian era. It is a must-have for any botanical art enthusiast or gardening aficionado, offering a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of these enchanting Lychnis and Campion species.
