EDITORS COMMENTS
Forget Me Not: A Chromolithographic Ode to the Humble Myosotis Palustris Amidst the vibrant tapestry of Victorian floral illustrations, the Forget Me Not, Myosotis palustris, holds a special place in the annals of botanical art. This exquisite chromolithograph, a visual symphony of color and form, is a testament to the enduring allure of this unassuming flower. Created by the renowned artist Louis Prang for Alice Ward Bailey's Flower Fancies in 1889, this print invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of nature's simplest wonders. The Forget Me Not, with its delicate blue blooms and verdant foliage, is delicately rendered in this chromolithograph. The intricate calligraphy that frames the image, penned by a masterful hand, adds an air of elegance and refinement. The ribbon that adorns the bottom of the print, a nod to the Art Nouveau aesthetic of the time, further enhances the overall effect. The illustration itself is a collaborative effort, with contributions from a talented roster of artists including Lucy Baily, Eleanor Ecob Morse, Olive Whitney, Ellen Fisher, Fidelia Bridges, C. Ryan, and F. Schuyler Mathews. Each artist brought their unique perspective and skill to the project, resulting in a final product that is a harmonious blend of artistry and botanical precision. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported to a bygone era, a time when the simple joys of nature were celebrated and cherished. The Forget Me Not, with its timeless beauty and evocative name, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of nature to inspire and delight.
