EDITORS COMMENTS
Behold the captivating beauty of the Nepal Trumpet Flower, Beaumontia grandiflora, as depicted in this handcoloured lithograph by D. Blair, based on an original illustration by Lena Lowis from her acclaimed work, "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," published by L. Reeve in London in 1878. Lena Lowis, formerly known as Selena Caroline Shakespear, was a British woman artist who embarked on a journey to India with her husband, Lt.-Col. Ninian Lowis. This exquisite vine and creeper, native to the Himalayas and Nepal, is also referred to as the Heralds Trumpet. The large, trumpet-shaped flowers, which bloom in shades of pink and white, are a sight to behold and are highly valued in Ayurvedic medicine for their cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. Lowis' meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color bring the Nepal Trumpet Flower to life in this stunning lithograph, offering a glimpse into the rich flora of India during the late 19th century.
