EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures the delicate beauty of the Chinese pink, Dianthus chinensis. Created by Desire Bois in the late 19th century, this botanical illustration showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this beloved flower. The Chinese pink, also known as Dianthus sinensis or carnation, is depicted with utmost precision and artistry. The image comes from Edward Steps' renowned book "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" published in London in 1896. This Victorian gardening masterpiece aimed to inspire horticulturists and enthusiasts alike with its stunning depictions of various flowers. Bois' skillful engraving technique brings out every petal's texture and shading, making it almost lifelike. The soft hues of pinks and whites create a harmonious palette that evokes a sense of tranquility and elegance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era when botany was not only a science but also an art form. It reminds us of the meticulous observations made by naturalists during the 19th century who sought to document nature's wonders for future generations. This print serves as a testament to both Bois' talent as an illustrator and Steps' dedication to sharing his love for flowers through his publications. It is a timeless representation of nature's splendor that continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century has passed since its creation.
