EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases two beloved flowers of the Victorian era: the Smiths Geranium, Preference, and the sweet purple and white Violets. The image, taken from Eliza Eve Gleadall's "The Beauties of Flora," published in 1834 at Heath Hall, Wakefield, is a stunning representation of nature's beauty and the symbolism attached to these flowers. The Smiths Geranium, Preference, with its vibrant, sweet-scented purple and white blooms, is depicted in all its splendor. The Violets, with their delicate purple and white petals, add a sense of purity and innocence to the scene. The title of the print, "Purity of sentiment, candour, modesty & innocence," further emphasizes the emotional significance of these flowers during the Victorian era. The intricate details of the flowers are brought to life through the skillful hand of the lithographers, Dean and Munday. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the print, making it a true work of art. The botanical accuracy of the illustration, combined with the poetic language of the title, makes this print a beautiful example of the Victorian fascination with nature and its symbolic meanings. Eliza Eve Gleadall's "The Beauties of Flora" was a popular botanical and poetic publication of its time, showcasing a selection of flowers drawn from nature and arranged emblematically. This print is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of these flowers, and serves as a reminder of the deep connection between nature, art, and emotion during the Victorian era.
