EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handfinished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, based on an illustration by Jane Loudon from her book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, showcases a beautiful arrangement of Primula varieties. The illustration highlights the enchanting beauty of Primroses, which were highly prized during the Victorian era for their ornamental value. The centerpiece of the image is Burnard's Formosa, with its vibrant yellow and red petals, surrounded by Primula elatior Polyanthus, boasting a captivating mix of pink, red, and white blooms. The Conqueror of Europe Auricula, with its ruffled, velvety petals in shades of pink and white, adds a touch of elegance, while the Primula auricula, with its rosette-like leaves and bright yellow flowers, brings a sense of cheer. The Common Primrose, Primula vulgaris, is depicted in the foreground, its simple yet charming yellow flowers adding a natural touch to the arrangement. The intricate details and rich colors of the lithograph perfectly capture the essence of these Primula varieties, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. Jane Loudon, a renowned botanist and writer, and Henry Noel Humphreys, a skilled lithographer, collaborated to create this exquisite work, which showcases the wide variety and beauty of Primroses. This chromolithograph is not only a testament to their artistic talents but also a reminder of the appreciation for nature and the role it played in Victorian society.
