EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph depicts various species of Wood-sorrel or Oxalis, including Mr. Bowie's oxalis (Oxalis bowiei), scalloped wood-sorrel (Oxalis crenata), many-flowered oxalis (Oxalis floribunda), and variable oxalis (Oxalis variabilis). The illustration is taken from Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published in London in 1849. The intricate details of these delicate plants are beautifully rendered in this lithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, who skillfully handfinished each print. The vibrant colors and fine lines showcase the unique characteristics of each Oxalis species, with their heart-shaped leaves and clusters of small, pink or white flowers. Wood-sorrels are part of the Oxalidaceae family and are known for their acidic, lemony taste and distinctive shape. These charming plants have been popular ornamentals for gardens and greenhouses since the Victorian era, adding a touch of elegance and whimsy to any setting. This rare and captivating lithograph is a testament to the artistry and botanical knowledge of the time, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or garden collection.
