EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Atamasco lily, Zephyranthes atamasco, also known as the Amaryllis atamasco. The illustration was created by Sydenham Edwards and engraved by Sansom for the Botanical Magazine in London, published in 1793. The Atamasco lily is a native plant of the southeastern United States, particularly in wetlands and swamps. It is renowned for its distinctive, elegant white flowers with a yellow center, which bloom in the spring. The intricate details of the Atamasco lily's petals and sepals are masterfully captured in this engraving, revealing the delicate intricacies of its unique structure. The bulb, which is not visible in the image, is typically small and round, with several offsetting bulblets that can be used to propagate new plants. The Atamasco lily holds cultural significance for various Native American tribes, who used its tubers for food and medicine. The plant's name is derived from the Muskogean word "atamasko," which means "place of the white flowers." This image serves as a testament to the natural beauty and historical importance of the Atamasco lily, and remains a cherished example of botanical illustration from the past.
