EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handfinished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, based on an original illustration by Jane Loudon from her book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, showcases a beautiful array of Violet species. The intricately detailed print features ten distinct varieties of Viola, each with unique characteristics that set them apart. At the center, the Fan-leaved Violet (Viola flabellifolia) displays its broad, fan-shaped leaves, while the Tree Violet (Viola palmaensis) and the Hooded Violet (Viola cucullata) boast distinctive hooded flowers. The Palmate-leaved Violet (Viola palmata) and the Downy Violet (Viola pubescens) are easily identified by their palmate leaves and downy stems, respectively. The Altaian Violet (Viola altaica) and the Altaian Violet (Viola altaica) are native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, while the Rouen Violet (Viola rothomagensis) hails from the Normandy region of France. Each violet species is depicted in stunning detail, with delicate petals and veins, adding to the overall elegance of the print. The chromolithograph process, which involves the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to paper using multiple colors, results in a rich, vibrant image that captures the true essence of these enchanting flowers. This exquisite print is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Henry Noel Humphreys and Jane Loudon but also a celebration of the diverse beauty of the Violet genus. The intricate details and vivid colors of this print make it a must-have for any botanical art collection or garden enthusiast's study. It serves as a reminder of the rich natural world that surrounds us and the importance of preserving its beauty for future generations to enjoy.
