EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the vibrant hues of a Victorian garden, this enchanting chromolithograph by Louis Prang captures the essence of springtime beauty. The image showcases a delightful arrangement of Pansies, Viola tricolor, their faces blooming with intricate patterns, their petals unfurling in a riot of colors. The ethereal presence of butterflies, their wings adorned with delicate patterns, adds an air of magic and wonder to the scene. The calligraphic poem in the ornate box at the bottom of the print reads, "Pansies, Viola Tricolor, and Butterflies," a testament to the harmonious union of nature's most exquisite creations. The title, "Flower Fancies," is elegantly written in flowing script, evoking the whimsical and imaginative spirit of the Victorian era. This illustration, published in 1889, was created by a team of talented artists, including Lucy Baily, Eleanor Ecob Morse, Olive Whitney, Ellen Fisher, Fidelia Bridges, C. Ryan, and F. Schuyler Mathews. Their masterful brushstrokes bring to life the intricate details of the pansies, the delicate wings of the butterflies, and the ornate patterns of the calligraphy. The art nouveau style of the print, with its flowing lines and organic forms, adds to the overall sense of beauty and grace. The ribbon-like ornamentation and the delicate, filigree-like patterns further enhance the visual appeal of the print. A true masterpiece of botanical art, this chromolithograph is a testament to the enduring allure of nature's splendor and the artistic vision of its creators.
