EDITORS COMMENTS
Heartsease, Viola tricolor, blooms in this exquisite chromolithograph print from Alice Ward Bailey's Flower Fancies, published in Boston in 1889. The delicate beauty of the Heartsease, also known as the pansy, is captured in intricate detail by the skilled hands of illustrators Lucy Baily, Eleanor Ecob Morse, Olive Whitney, Ellen Fisher, Fidelia Bridges, C. Ryan, and F. Schuyler Mathews. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the Heartsease petals are brought to life through the chromolithographic process, a popular printing technique of the Victorian era. The calligraphic poem in the ornate box at the bottom of the print adds an elegant touch to the design, inviting the viewer to reflect on the fleeting beauty of the flower. The ribbon-tied bow and Art Nouveau-inspired border further enhance the whimsical and romantic charm of the image. Heartsease, a member of the viola family, is known for its distinctive tricolor petals and sweet, pleasant fragrance. It was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during the Victorian era, when the appreciation for intricate detail and beauty in nature reached new heights. This charming print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Heartsease and the artistry of the illustrators and printers of the time.
