EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph depicts various garden varieties of the Persian buttercup, Ranunculus asiaticus, as illustrated by Jane Loudon for her renowned book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849 by William S. Orr. The illustration was later handfinished by Henry Noel Humphreys, a skilled artist known for his intricate and detailed lithographs. The Persian buttercup, also known as Ranunculus asiaticus, is a popular ornamental perennial that originated in Central Asia. It is characterized by its large, vibrant blooms, which come in a range of colors including pink, red, white, and yellow. The flowers have numerous petals that resemble the shape of a cup, hence the common name "buttercup." In this illustration, we see several varieties of the Persian buttercup, each with its unique coloration and petal arrangement. The delicate details of the flowers are expertly rendered, showcasing the artist's mastery of the lithographic medium. The background features a serene garden setting, with lush greenery and a winding pathway, adding to the sense of tranquility and beauty. Jane Loudon was a Victorian-era lady of many talents. She was not only an accomplished botanist and author but also a prolific writer and illustrator. Her work on "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials" was a groundbreaking contribution to the field of botanical illustration, providing a comprehensive record of ornamental plants suitable for Victorian gardens. This stunning lithograph is a testament to her dedication and passion for the natural world.
