EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting beauty of Pansies, also known as Viola tricolor, in full bloom. The image, titled "Thoughts: You occupy my thoughts or Pensez a Moi," is taken from "The Beauties of Flora," a botanical and poetic illustration series published in Wakefield, England, in 1834. The series was created by Eliza Eve Gleadall, with lithographic reproductions by Dean and Munday. The delicate pansy flowers, with their distinctive faces and vibrant colors, have long been associated with thoughts, reflection, and introspection. The French phrase "Pensez a Moi," meaning "think of me," further emphasizes the emotional depth and symbolism of these captivating blossoms. The intricate details of the pansies' petals and stems are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the skill and artistry of the illustrators and printers. The botanical accuracy is evident, making this a valuable addition to any botanical or art collection. The "Beauties of Flora" series was not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a poetic exploration of the natural world. The combination of botanical illustrations and poetic titles added an extra layer of meaning and interpretation to each image, making it a popular choice for those who appreciated the beauty and depth of nature. This stunning pansy print is a testament to the enduring appeal of these flowers and the power of art and nature to inspire and captivate the imagination.
