EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Begonia rex, a species known for its striking foliage. The chromolithograph was created by Desire Bois, a renowned botanical illustrator from the late 19th century. Bois' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the intricate patterns and vibrant colors of this begonia variety. The illustration originates from Edward Steps' book "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" published in London in 1896. This Victorian gardening masterpiece aimed to inspire horticulturists and flower enthusiasts with its comprehensive collection of botanical illustrations. Transporting us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century gardens, this print embodies both artistry and scientific precision. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on botany during that era, where natural history and science were intertwined with artistic expression. The delicate engravings bring forth an explosion of color against a backdrop reminiscent of vintage wallpaper. Each petal seems almost tangible, inviting viewers into a realm where nature's wonders are immortalized through art. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon this begonia rex chromolithograph, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic allure but also the rich heritage it represents – connecting us to an era when botany flourished as both an academic discipline and an artistic pursuit.
