EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph depicts a stunning array of sunflower species, showcasing the Downy Sunflower (Helianthus pubescens), Ten-Petaled Sunflower (Helianthus decapetalus), and Showy Sunflower (Helianthus speciosus). The illustration, created by the talented Jane Loudon, was published in her renowned book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," released in London in 1849 by William S. Orr. The Downy Sunflower, with its velvety, soft-touch petals and fuzzy stems, is a delightful contrast to the bold, golden blooms of the other sunflowers. The Ten-Petaled Sunflower, as its name suggests, boasts an impressive number of petals arranged in a symmetrical pattern around its central disc. The Showy Sunflower, with its large, vibrant blooms and towering height, is a true showstopper, making it a popular choice for gardens and bouquets. Henry Noel Humphreys masterfully brought Jane Loudon's illustrations to life through chromolithography, a popular printing technique of the Victorian era. Chromolithography allowed for rich, vibrant colors and intricate detail, resulting in stunning, lifelike images. This beautiful print is a testament to the artistry and botanical knowledge of the time, offering a glimpse into the past and the appreciation for nature's beauty.
