EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Crape Myrtle, Lagerstromia indica, as illustrated by Lena Lowis in her renowned work "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," published by L. Reeve in London in 1878. Lena Lowis, formerly known as Selena Caroline Shakespear, was a British woman artist who accompanied her husband, Lt.-Col. Ninian Lowis, on a journey to India. The Crape Myrtle, also known as Crepeflower or Crepe Myrtle Tree, is a stunning and vibrant blooming plant native to the Americas, but it has become a beloved ornamental tree in many parts of the world, including India, due to its attractive bark and beautiful flowers. The tree is named for its crepe-like texture and appearance of its petals. The illustration captures the essence of the Crape Myrtle's allure, with its delicate, layered petals unfurling in a rich palette of pinks, purples, and reds. The intricate details of the flower's veins and the subtle shading of the petals are brought to life through the skilled hand of the artist, D. Blair, who expertly translated Lowis's original illustration into a lithograph. The publication of "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates" marked a significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration, showcasing the diverse and captivating flora of India through the lens of a British woman artist's unique perspective. This exquisite print is a testament to the beauty and artistry of both the Crape Myrtle and the talented women who brought it to life through their work.
