EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning red and white striped Lily, hand-coloured in exquisite detail. The image transports us back to the 18th-19th century, where botanical illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The delicate flower takes center stage against a pristine white background, its vibrant colors and intricate patterns mesmerizing the viewer. The hand tinting adds an extra layer of artistry, enhancing the natural beauty of this floral specimen. Published in London between 1799-1810 as part of "The Botanical Magazine; or Flower Garden Displayed" by William Curtis, this engraving is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of English School artists during that era. It captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this particular Lily species. As we gaze upon this close-up view, we can almost imagine catching a whiff of its intoxicating fragrance. This scent would have delighted botany enthusiasts and nature lovers alike in the early 19th century when it was first published. With no person present in the image, our focus remains solely on the lily itself – its bold stripes creating an eye-catching pattern that draws us further into its enchanting world. This timeless piece serves as both a work of art and a valuable reference for those interested in botany and biology. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this extraordinary print from centuries past with all its original charm intact.
