EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Columbine flower, a beloved perennial in the Aquilegia genus. The featured bloom is believed to be Mrs. Skinner's Columbine, or Aquilegia skinneri, also known as the Russian Columbine, Glaucous Columbine, or Fragrant Columbine. This exquisite flower hails from the Caucasus Mountains and is cherished for its unique, elegant beauty. The Columbine's distinctive features include its gracefully arching, nodding blooms adorned with intricate, hooded petals that resemble the faces of ancient Greek gods. The petals are often a captivating blend of brownish-purple hues, as seen in this illustration. The plant boasts palmate leaves and grows to a height of approximately 30-60 centimeters. This stunning representation of the Columbine is taken from an illustration in Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published in London in 1849. The illustration was masterfully brought to life through the chromolithographic process, a popular method of printmaking during the Victorian era that produced rich, vibrant colors. Aquilegia species, including Mrs. Skinner's Columbine, continue to captivate gardeners and flower enthusiasts with their allure and charm. These enchanting blooms are a testament to the enduring beauty and grace of nature.
