EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph depicts a stunning array of Evening Primroses, or Oenothera species, as illustrated by Jane Loudon for Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published by William S. Orr in London in 1849. The illustration was later handfinished by Henry Noel Humphreys, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors of these enchanting flowers. The Evening Primroses displayed in this print include the Large-fruited Evening Primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa), Dandelion-leaved Evening Primrose (Oe. taraxacifolia), Glaucous-leaved Evening Primrose (Oe. glauca), Pale-flowered Evening Primrose (Oe. pallida), and Heart-leaved Evening Primrose (Oe. bipons). Each species is depicted in its unique beauty, with delicate petals unfurling to reveal their evening bloom. The Large-fruited Evening Primrose is characterized by its large, orange-yellow flowers and long, slender fruits. The Dandelion-leaved Evening Primrose boasts distinctive leaves reminiscent of dandelions, while the Glaucous-leaved Evening Primrose is adorned with silvery-blue leaves and pale yellow flowers. The Pale-flowered Evening Primrose features soft, ivory-colored blooms, and the Heart-leaved Evening Primrose displays heart-shaped leaves and pinkish-purple flowers. These captivating illustrations not only serve as a testament to the botanical accuracy of the time but also as a celebration of the natural beauty and diversity of the Evening Primrose family. This chromolithograph is a must-have for any botanical art enthusiast or gardening aficionado, providing a glimpse into the rich history of horticulture and botanical illustration.
