1891 Cheiranthus Cheiri Wallflower
EDITORS COMMENTS
Cheiranthus Cheiri, or the Sweet-scented Wallflower (1891) This beautiful vintage print showcases the enchanting Cheiranthus Cheiri, commonly known as the Sweet-scented Wallflower. Dating back to 1891, this image brings us back in time to an era when botanical illustrations were meticulously crafted to celebrate the natural world. The Cheiranthus Cheiri is a charming perennial plant that originated in the Mediterranean region. Its name derives from the Greek words 'cheir' meaning hand and 'anthos' meaning flower, referring to the hand-shaped structure of its blooms. This wallflower is renowned for its delightful fragrance, which is most pronounced during the night. The intricate details of the Cheiranthus Cheiri in this print are a testament to the skill and dedication of the botanical illustrator. The delicate petals, veined leaves, and the fine stems are all rendered with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The rich, earthy tones of the print add to its authenticity and evoke a sense of nostalgia. This wallflower was a popular choice for Victorian gardens due to its captivating fragrance and attractive appearance. The Sweet-scented Wallflower was often grown in greenhouses and brought indoors to brighten up homes during the winter months. Its ability to bloom in the colder seasons made it a cherished addition to many households. This exquisite print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of botanical illustration and the appreciation of nature during the Victorian era.
