EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of Poppy Anemones, Anemone coronaria, as depicted in Desire Bois' illustration from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The intricate details of the Poppy Anemone's velvety petals, reminiscent of both poppies and hibiscus, are brought to life through the vivid colors and meticulous shading of the chromolithographic process. Anemone coronaria, also known as the Coronaria Anemone or the Windflower Anemone, is a beloved perennial flower in the Ranunculaceae family. Originating from the Mediterranean region, these flowers bloom in late winter and early spring, adding a splash of color to gardens during the colder months. The name "Poppy Anemone" is derived from their resemblance to poppies, with their large, papery petals, and anemones, for their characteristic circular structure and radial arrangement of petals. The illustration, created by Desire Bois, captures the essence of the Victorian era's fascination with botanical illustrations and horticulture. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the illustration serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The presence of other flowers, such as the Roseus Hibiscus, adds to the overall charm and beauty of the composition. This stunning chromolithograph is not only a work of art but also a historical document, providing a glimpse into the botanical explorations and artistic achievements of the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of flowers and the importance of preserving and celebrating their beauty through art and illustration.
