EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the stunning Showy Lily, Lilium speciosum, as illustrated by Desire Bois for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Showy Lily, also known as the Turkish Lily or the Easter Lily, is a beautiful and elegant flower that has captured the hearts of gardeners and horticulturists for centuries. The vibrant image showcases the lily's large, showy, and fragrant white blooms, with each petal delicately rendered in intricate detail. The lily's tall, sturdy stem supports the elegant flowers, which are surrounded by lush, green foliage. In the background, a Tulip, Tulipa, and a Gesneriana can be seen, adding to the overall beauty and richness of the illustration. The Victorian-era botanical illustration by Desire Bois is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The use of chromolithography, a popular printing technique during the late 19th century, allowed for the vivid and lifelike colors that bring the flower to life on the page. The Showy Lily was a favorite among Victorian gardeners, who admired its striking appearance and the fact that it bloomed around Easter time. This beautiful and timeless image serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of these magnificent flowers and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through art and horticulture.
