About the Work

This hand-coloured lithograph comes from the workshop of Day & Haghe, official lithographers to Queen Victoria, and belongs to the circle of Jane Loudon's celebrated botanical volumes of the 1840s. The vivid, carefully applied hand-colouring in bright blue, yellow and pink makes this plate a genuine eye-catcher. A charming piece of Victorian botanical culture, attractively framed and ready to hang.

Provenance

The work was professionally framed by A.Z. Goldy, Einrahmungen & Intarsien, Zugerstrasse 47, CH-6330 Cham, an established framing studio in the canton of Zug, which underlines its local provenance. The slim gilt frame with a white mount brings out the fresh colouring of this Victorian flower plate.
