EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph depicts a vibrant array of Nasturtium or Tropaeolum species, captured in intricate detail by the skilled illustrator Jane Loudon and masterfully brought to life through the artistry of Henry Noel Humphreys. The image, taken from Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials published in London in 1849, showcases a diverse selection of these captivating plants. Among the depicted species are Mr. Moritz Tropaeolum (Tropaeolum moritzanum), the tuberous Indian cress (Tropaeolum tuberosum), short-horned Indian cress (Tropaeolum brachyceras), three-coloured Indian cress (Tropaeolum tricolorum), Mr. Jarrett's tropaeolum, and fine-leaved Indian cress (Tropaeolum pentophyllum). Each plant is rendered with stunning accuracy, revealing their unique characteristics and allure. Nasturtiums are known for their distinctive, often bi- or tricolored flowers, which bloom in various shades of red, orange, yellow, and pink. These edible flowers not only add a splash of color to gardens but also offer a peppery, spicy flavor when consumed. The intricate lithographic process used to create this print involved multiple layers of ink being applied to a limestone plate, resulting in a rich, vibrant image. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of naturalistic colors make this print a true masterpiece, transporting us back in time to the Victorian era and its fascination with ornamental horticulture.
