EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Bower of Beauty," showcases a stunning combination of three exquisite plants: Pandorea jasminoides, Tecoma stans, and Tecoma velutina. The image is based on an illustration by Lena Lowis, created during her time in India with her husband, Lt.-Col. Ninian Lowis. The illustration was published in her acclaimed work, "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," released by L. Reeve in London in 1878. The central figure of the composition is the Bower of Beauty, or Pandorea jasminoides, a beautiful vine known for its clusters of fragrant, white flowers. The vine is adorned with the vibrant yellow blooms of the Trumpet Bush, or Tecoma stans (also known as Tecoma velutina), which adds a burst of sunshine to the scene. The lush greenery and intricate details of the plants are expertly rendered in this handcoloured lithograph by D. Blair. Lena Lowis was a talented British artist who traveled extensively with her husband, documenting the flora of India through her illustrations. Her work, "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," was a testament to her passion for botanical art and her keen observational skills. This image of the Bower of Beauty, Tecoma stans, and Tecoma velutina is a prime example of her artistic prowess and her dedication to capturing the natural beauty of India's diverse plant life.
