EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph, titled "Lilies, Lilium candidum, and Gold Ribbon," is a stunning example of the intricate and beautiful illustrations found in Alice Ward Bailey's Flower Fancies, published in Boston in 1889. The illustration, created by a team of skilled artists including Lucy Baily, Eleanor Ecob Morse, Olive Whitney, Ellen Fisher, Fidelia Bridges, C. Ryan, and F. Schuyler Mathews, showcases the elegance and allure of the lily, Lilium candidum, with its pristine white petals and golden stamens. The lily is artfully arranged against a backdrop of delicate gold ribbon, adding an air of sophistication and refinement to the design. The illustration is further embellished with an illuminated initial and calligraphic poem, adding a personal and artistic touch. The ornate and intricate details of the illustration are a testament to the Art Nouveau style that was popular during the late Victorian era. Louis Prang, a renowned German-American lithographer, was responsible for the production of this beautiful chromolithograph. Prang's innovative use of the chromolithography process allowed for the creation of vibrant and detailed images, making him a pioneer in the field of color printing. This particular illustration is a prime example of the high-quality and artistic output of Prang's studio during this time. The lily, a symbol of purity and innocence, has long been a favorite subject in art and literature. In this illustration, it is captured in all its beauty and grace, making it a timeless and captivating work of art.
