EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the Jacobean Lily, Sprekelia formosissima, a captivating and rare beauty from the Natal region of South Africa. The image is derived from an illustration by Desire Bois, as featured in Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Jacobean Lily, also known as the Natal Bush Lily or Kaffir Clivia, is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family and is native to South Africa. It is characterized by its striking, funnel-shaped, bell-like flowers that bloom in shades of red, orange, and yellow. The flowers are borne on a tall, unbranched stem, emerging from a rosette of narrow, strap-shaped leaves. The Victorian era, during which this illustration was produced, was a time of great interest in horticulture and botanical exploration. The Jacobean Lily was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, as it was both exotic and beautiful. The intricate details of the illustration showcase the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the time. Desire Bois was a renowned botanical illustrator of the late 19th century, known for her precise and accurate depictions of plants. Her illustrations were widely used in botanical publications and were highly regarded for their beauty and scientific accuracy. This chromolithograph is a testament to the fascination with botanical exploration and the appreciation for the natural world during the Victorian era. The Jacobean Lily, with its vibrant colors and unique beauty, continues to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts today.
