EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph depicts the Natal Lily, Clivia miniata, also known as the Bush Lily or Amaryllis, as illustrated by Desire Bois for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Natal Lily is a beautiful and iconic South African plant, known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of orange, yellow, and red. The illustration captures the plant in all its glory, with its lush, strap-like leaves and elegant inflorescence. The Natal Lily was a popular addition to Victorian gardens and greenhouses, and was often grown for its striking and exotic appearance. The illustration also includes an Aspidistra Elatior, or Cast Iron Plant, which was a common companion plant in Victorian interiors due to its hardiness and ability to thrive in low-light conditions. Desire Bois was a renowned botanical illustrator of the late 19th century, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects. This illustration is a testament to her skill and artistry, and provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian horticulture and gardening. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed and vibrant color images, further enhances the beauty of the illustration and brings the Natal Lily to life. This print is a must-have for botanical art enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
