EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcolored lithograph captures the ethereal beauty of a Wild Corn Poppy Fairy, gracefully perched atop a blooming Papaver rhoeas, or Wild Corn Poppy flower. The image is taken from "Les Fleurs Parlantes" (The Talking Flowers), a series of botanical illustrations created by Louis Lassalle and published by Louis Janet in Paris in 1848. The Wild Corn Poppy, a vibrant and iconic flower of the poppy family, is depicted in all its splendor, with its rich red petals unfurling around the fairy's delicate form. The fairy herself is a vision of whimsy and grace, her gossamer wings adorned with intricate patterns that mimic the delicate veining of the poppy petals. Her diaphanous gown flows gently in the breeze, and her expression is one of serene contentment as she gazes upon the flower she calls home. The "Les Fleurs Parlantes" series was renowned for its innovative approach to botanical illustration, combining the scientific accuracy of botanical drawings with the artistic flair of handcoloring and the imaginative addition of mythical beings. This Wild Corn Poppy Fairy image is a testament to the series' ability to captivate the imagination and transport viewers to a world of enchantment and wonder. Louis Lassalle was a master lithographer and illustrator, whose work graced the pages of numerous publications and private collections. His collaboration with Louise Leneveux on "Les Fleurs Parlantes" resulted in a collection of botanical illustrations that remain as captivating and beautiful today as they were over 170 years ago.
