EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, after an illustration by Jane Loudon from her renowned book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, showcases a captivating collection of Carnation and Dianthus caryophyllus varieties. The image includes Emmeline, Princess Frederick, and Picotee picotees, as well as Bijou de Clement and Prince de Nassau carnations. Dianthus caryophyllus, commonly known as Carnations, were highly prized during the Victorian era for their delicate beauty and sweet fragrance. The picotee varieties, such as Emmeline and Princess Frederick, are characterized by their ruffled edges and two-tone coloration, with a darker color along the edges and a lighter hue in the center. The Bijou de Clement and Prince de Nassau carnations, on the other hand, display vibrant, rich colors and intricate patterns. Henry Noel Humphreys' meticulous handfinished chromolithograph technique brings these enchanting flowers to life, capturing their intricate details and textures. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing color prints during the 19th century, involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a rich and vibrant image. Jane Loudon's "Ladies Flower Garden" was a highly influential gardening book that provided detailed descriptions and illustrations of various ornamental perennials, making it an essential resource for Victorian gardeners. This beautiful print serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of these charming flowers and the artistry of the Victorian era.
