EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Chinese Wisteria, Wisteria sinensis, also known as the Chinese Wistaria or the Blue Wisteria. The image is an illustration by Desire Bois from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Chinese Wisteria is a beautiful, deciduous climbing plant that is native to China and is renowned for its magnificent, fragrant, and abundant lavender-blue flowers. The intricate details of the Wisteria's delicate blooms are expertly captured in this vibrant and colorful print. The wisteria vines are adorned with clusters of flowers, each one a symphony of petals that cascade down from the branches like a waterfall. The coral-colored buds add a pop of contrast against the deep blue hue of the flowers. The illustration also showcases the distinctive erythrina-shaped, galli-like structures that appear at the base of each flower, adding to the plant's unique charm. The Chinese Wisteria was a popular ornamental plant during the Victorian era, and this print is a testament to its enduring beauty and allure. The intricacy and detail of the chromolithograph reflect the meticulous attention to botanical accuracy and artistic excellence that was characteristic of Victorian horticulture and gardening. The print is a captivating reminder of the rich history and appreciation for the natural world that defined the Victorian era.
