EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the captivating Laurel Clockvine, or Thunbergia laurifolia, a beautiful vine native to India. The intricately detailed illustration was created by Lena Lowis, a British woman artist who traveled to India with her husband, Lt.-Col. Ninian Lowis, in the late 19th century. The illustration was based on observations made during their time in India and was later published in Lowis's book, "Familiar Indian Flowers with Coloured Plates," published by L. Reeve in London in 1878. The Laurel Clockvine is characterized by its trumpet-shaped, vivid blue flowers, which bloom in clusters and emit a delightful fragrance. The vine's name derives from its resemblance to a laurel wreath, with its glossy, evergreen leaves. The vine is a popular ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions due to its attractive appearance and ease of cultivation. The illustration was produced by the skilled hand of D. Blair, using the lithographic process to bring Lowis's artistry to life in vibrant colour. The result is a breathtaking representation of the Laurel Clockvine, which transports us to the exotic and enchanting world of Indian flora. Lowis's dedication to documenting the beauty of Indian flowers through her art remains a testament to her passion and talent as a botanical artist.
