EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts the enchanting Mexican Tiger-flower, Tigridia pavonia, also known as Change or The Blue Major Convolvulus. The image, created by Eliza Eve Gleadall and published in The Beauties of Flora in 1834, showcases the flower's captivating beauty and intricate details. The Mexican Tiger-flower is native to Mexico and Central America and is renowned for its unique and striking appearance. The flower's petals are arranged in a tiger-like pattern, with alternating blue and white stripes, giving it an otherworldly allure. The plant is also accompanied by the Night-flowering Blue Major Convolvulus, or bindweed, which adds an ethereal touch to the composition. Eliza Eve Gleadall was a talented British botanical artist who created this illustration based on a live specimen. Her meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring the Mexican Tiger-flower to life, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty in all its glory. The Beauties of Flora was a popular botanical publication during the Victorian era, featuring a selection of flowers drawn from nature arranged emblematically. The publication was published by Heath Hall in Wakefield, England, and showcased both botanical and poetic illustrations, making it a must-have for nature lovers and artists alike. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the time, providing a window into the natural world and inspiring awe and wonder in those who behold it.
