EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph depicts a charming arrangement of the Sollya heterophylla, also known as the changeable apple-berry or Billardiera mutabilis, and the Chinese pittosporum, Pittosporum tobira. The intricately detailed illustration was created by Jane Loudon and brought to life through the skilled artistry of Noel Humphreys in 1849. The Sollya heterophylla is a captivating plant native to New Zealand, renowned for its changeable flowers that transform from white to pink as they age. The delicate, bell-shaped blooms cascade down the vine, creating a stunning display. The Chinese pittosporum, on the other hand, is an evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves and small, fragrant, white flowers. Its graceful branches add texture and depth to the arrangement, complementing the vibrant colors of the Sollya. This beautiful illustration is taken from Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden or Ornamental Greenhouse Plants, published by William S. Orr in London in 1849. The Victorian-era publication was a popular resource for ladies interested in gardening and horticulture, showcasing a wide variety of plants and flowers. The handfinished chromolithograph technique used to create this print involved the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to a sheet of paper using water-based inks. Each color was applied separately, resulting in a rich, vibrant image. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of naturalistic colors make this print a true work of art, transporting us back in time to the elegance and beauty of the Victorian era.
