EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases two exquisite flowers from the botanical world: The Myrtle-leaved Camellia, also known as the Japan Rose or Camellia japonica, and the Persian Cyclamen, or Cyclamen persicum. The Myrtle-leaved Camellia is depicted in full bloom, its velvety petals unfurling to reveal a radiant beauty that demands attention. The delicate, intricate patterns on its leaves add to its allure, making it a true embodiment of natural elegance. In stark contrast, the Persian Cyclamen is shown in a more demure pose. Its petals are closed, revealing only a hint of its inner beauty. The delicate shades of pink and white on its edges give way to a deeper, richer hue at its center, symbolizing the hidden depths of its character. The word 'Diffidence' accompanying the image adds to the flower's mystique, suggesting a quiet, understated beauty that is worth discovering. This beautiful illustration is taken from 'The Beauties of Flora,' a collection of botanical and poetic illustrations by Eliza Eve Gleadall, published in Wakefield, England, in 1834. The intricacy and detail of the handcoloured lithograph are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or art collection.
