EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite beauty of Persian buttercups, or Ranunculus asiaticus, as illustrated by Desire Bois for Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The vibrant blue hue of these Persian buttercups captivates the eye, with their intricately layered petals unfurling like delicate waves. The passionflower, Passiflora caerulea or coerulea, adds an enchanting contrast to the scene, its exotic and intricately patterned blooms adding a touch of the exotic to this Victorian botanical illustration. Buttercups, a beloved flower in gardens around the world, were particularly cherished during the Victorian era for their ability to bloom profusely and brightly, adding a splash of color to greenhouses and gardens alike. Ranunculus asiaticus, with its Persian origins, was a favorite among collectors and horticulturists for its ruffled, silky petals and its ability to thrive in cooler temperatures. Desire Bois, the talented botanical illustrator, expertly captured the essence of these flowers, using the chromolithograph process to bring out their intricate details and true-to-life colors. The result is a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and delight gardeners and flower lovers today.
