EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Pincushion Flower, or Sweet Scabious (Scabiosa atropurpurea), a beloved bloom from the gardens and hothouses of Europe during the mid-19th century. The captivating image, taken from the seminal work "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1857, showcases the flower's allure in its full splendor. The Pincushion Flower, a native of Central Europe and the Mediterranean, is characterized by its velvety, deep-purple petals that radiate from a raised, cone-shaped center, resembling a pincushion. The intricate details of the flower's structure are beautifully rendered in this meticulously hand-colored lithograph, revealing the delicate veining and subtle textures of the petals. The rich, earthy tones of the background further emphasize the vibrant hue of the flower, making for a stunning visual representation of this beloved botanical specimen. This image offers a glimpse into the beauty and elegance of European horticulture during the Victorian era, and remains a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the time.
