EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handfinished chromolithograph depicts various St. John's Wort species, including Chinese St. John's Wort (Hypericum monogynum), Nepal St. John's Wort (Hypericum uralum), Majorca St. John's Wort (Hypericum balearicum), and Hypericum-like Reaumuria (Reaumuria alternifolia and Reaumuria hypericoides). The illustration was created by Jane Loudon and expertly hand-finished by Noel Humphreys for Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden or Ornamental Greenhouse Plants, published by William S. Orr in London in 1849. St. John's Wort, a genus of flowering plants in the Hypericaceae family, is known for its distinctive yellow or orange-red flowers that bloom around St. John's Day on June 24th. These plants have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, particularly for treating depression and anxiety. The various species depicted in this print showcase the diverse range of St. John's Wort, each with unique characteristics that make them valuable additions to gardens and natural habitats. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this lithograph capture the beauty and allure of these plants, making it an exquisite addition to any botanical collection. The artistry and craftsmanship of Noel Humphreys and Jane Loudon are evident in every detail, from the delicate petals of the flowers to the intricate veining on the leaves. This print is not only a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration but also a celebration of the natural world and its wonders.
