Colchicum 'Naked Ladies' Lithograph. G D Ehret. 19
When faced with the pressures of challenging and uncertain times flowers can act as a powerful remedy and are linked to a person’s happiness, both immediate and long term. They can relieve stress, lift spirits, and ease away depression symptoms and anxiety. Flowers make us happy by triggering happy brain chemicals. Historically, flowers triggered dopamine for our hunter-gatherer ancestors because they marked the coming of abundance after a hungry winter. Now, the blossoming of a flower triggers the sense that something special is coming. Serotonin is popularly thought to be a contributor to feelings of wellbeing and happiness. Flowers can help stimulate a sense of pride and excitement with others, and release serotonin – whether you grow them, buy them, give them, receive them or admire them from a distance. Often called the “love hormone,” oxytocin is associated with empathy, trust, and relationship building. Flowers communicate the intention to invest effort in a relationship, helping you to connect with and feel closer on an emotional level to people around you. The reason why flowers are able to do this is that it gives you a connection to nature, to something beyond your normal, fast-paced environment. Colours also make you happier through chromotherapy, which uses colour to balance “energy” lacking from a persons body, whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels.
In this folio we celebrate flowers arrangements that can help make these difficult times even a little better. The arrangements are scientifically and botanically correct but not necessarily complete with more emphasis is placed on the aesthetic value of the plant or flower but without the requirement for ALL the information required by the botanists. The arrangements offered were created by the greatest botanical artists that have ever been. The very fine, wonderfully detailed/textured and finely and accurately coloured plates offered where printed (on thick and heavy paper) and finished by hand in the late 1950's and include several produced off the original stipple engraving plates created by the botanical masters included in the folio. The plates were a limited edition and can be considered rare.
Here we offer a wonderful arrangement of Colchicum (commonly known as 'naked ladies' by Georg Dionysius Ehret (Germany. 1708 – 1770). Colchicum is a genus of perennial flowering plants containing around 160 species and is native to West Asia, Europe, parts of the Mediterranean coast, down the East African coast to South Africa and the Western Cape. The common names autumn crocus, meadow saffron and naked lady may be applied to the whole genus or to many of its species they refer to the "naked" crocus-like flowers that appear in late summer or autumn, long before the strap-like foliage which appears in spring. The name of the genus derives from ?????? (Colchis), the Ancient Greek name for the region of ??????? (Kolkhida) in modern Georgia (Caucasus). Colchis features in Greek mythology as the land to which the Argonauts journeyed in quest of the golden fleece and where Jason encountered Medea.
Framing:
This beautiful chromolithograph has been professionally remounted in a bespoke handmade and hand-gilded gold frame (has simply wonderful oxidation and warm gold tones), the confidently proportioned off-white mount is decorated, and a fine and delicate gold beading has been used as a sophisticated contrast to the plate.
