EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the enchanting world of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," this hand-colored lithograph captures the ethereal beauty of Wild Thyme, Oxlips, Violet, Woodbine, Musk-roses, and Eglantine. Drawn and lithographed by the talented Jane Elizabeth Giraud for "The Flowers of Shakespeare," published by Day and Haghe in London in 1845, this botanical illustration brings to life the magical flora that graces the pages of this timeless play. The delicate Wild Thyme, with its tiny purple flowers and creeping stems, is intertwined with the vibrant Oxlips, their golden blooms adding a burst of sunshine to the scene. The humble Violet, with its sweet, purple heart-shaped flowers, adds a touch of elegance, while the Woodbine, with its twisting tendrils and fragrant white flowers, represents the wild and untamed spirit of nature. The Musk-roses, with their velvety, pink blooms and sweet fragrance, add a touch of romance to the bouquet, while the Eglantine, or Sweetbriar Rose, with its clusters of small, pink roses, completes the enchanting arrangement. This exquisite illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the artistry of Jane Elizabeth Giraud and the beauty of the natural world that inspired her. The calligraphy that accompanies the illustration, with its elegant script and poetic verses from the play, adds an extra layer of charm and sophistication to this stunning work of art. Whether displayed as a decorative piece in a home or used as a source of inspiration for a poet or artist, this botanical illustration is a reminder of the magic and wonder that can be found in the natural world and in the pages of Shakespeare's classic plays.
