EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the Sacred Bean or Indian Lotus, Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbium speciosum), a magnificent aquatic plant native to the Eastern Hemisphere. The image is derived from an illustration by Desire Bois, created for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The lotus is shown as a young plant, with its distinctive heart-shaped leaves unfurling from the water's surface and its buds beginning to form. The plant is surrounded by a lush, verdant setting, with the fronds of a coconut palm and the leaves of a Lytocaryum weddellianum (Weddell's palm) visible in the background. The Sacred Bean or Indian Lotus holds deep cultural and spiritual significance in various Eastern religions and traditions. Its large, fragrant flowers are revered for their beauty and symbolism, representing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. The plant's ability to thrive in murky waters and rise above the surface to bloom is a powerful metaphor for the human capacity to overcome adversity and find inner peace. This charming and intricately detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with botanical beauty and horticulture. The use of chromolithography, a popular printing technique of the time, allows for vibrant colors and lifelike textures, making this image a true masterpiece of botanical art.
