Jane Webb Loudon (1807-1858) struggled with financial
difficulties all her life. Left impoverished by her
father, she wrote a novel, The Mummy, Tales for the
Twenty Second Century, which became a bestseller.
Through it, she met her husband, a botanical
illustrator. She decided to write botanical books the
ordinary person could understand. Her first,
Instructions in Gardening for Ladies, was a great
success. She is renowned for her monumental works with
lavish plates, including The Ladies Flower Garden of
Ornamental Annuals, The Ladies Flower Garden of
Ornamental Perennials, and British Wild Flowers.
(References include Nissen 1237; Great Flower Books,
1990, p.115).
These prints of bulbous plants measure approximately
8 1/2 inches wide by 10 1/2 inches long. There is no
descriptive text. These plates were highly prized by previous generations, and many were cut up for decorative purposes, so they have become quite a rarity.
We have priced them very reasonably and they are a great
bargain, as they can be found elsewhere on the web for
as much as $600.
