EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph showcases a stunning arrangement of waterlily species, including the Foreign Yellow Waterlily (Nymphaea advena), Sweet-Scented Waterlily (Nymphaea odorata and Nymphaea odorata minor), and the Shining Waterlily (Nymphaea nitida). The illustration was created by the talented Jane Loudon and masterfully brought to life through the chromolithographic techniques of Henry Noel Humphreys. The Foreign Yellow Waterlily, also known as the White Nymphoid Waterlily, is a non-native species that displays vibrant yellow flowers with white centers. It is a free-floating aquatic plant that thrives in warm, shallow waters. The Sweet-Scented Waterlily, native to North America, is renowned for its delightful fragrance and beautiful, white flowers. The minor variant is a smaller version of the species, with smaller leaves and flowers. The Shining Waterlily, native to South America, boasts shimmering, silver-white leaves and pink flowers with yellow centers. This species is also known as the Moonflower Waterlily due to its nocturnal blooming habits. This print, taken from Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published by William S. Orr in London in 1849, is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of these waterlily species. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these aquatic blooms to life, making this a truly enchanting addition to any botanical collection.
