Explanation of Chromolithography
Chromolithography is a method for making multi-color prints. This process originated in the 19th century and involves using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, and was a revolutionary technique at the time for producing vibrant, detailed images. Each stone is meticulously prepared so that when printed in succession, they create a complete, richly colored image. This method was particularly popular for producing high-quality illustrations of botanicals, where the accuracy of the color could enhance the scientific and aesthetic value of the work. The process was both labor-intensive and required significant skill, making chromolithographs prized for their beauty and precision.
These details about the plants, their illustration process, and the historical context of their publication underline the intersection of art, science, and technology during the height of the Victorian era's interest in natural sciences.
