EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the vibrant beauty of the Yellow-flowered California Poppy, Eschscholzia californica, as depicted in Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona published in 1829. The illustration was meticulously created by botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and expertly engraved by Watts. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, and author of numerous gardening books, curated this impressive collection of botanical specimens. The California Poppy, also known as the Golden Poppy, is the state flower of California. This native wildflower is renowned for its bright yellow, cup-shaped blooms that resemble poppies from other parts of the world. However, unlike its opiate-containing relatives, the California Poppy does not produce poppy seeds or contain any narcotic properties. Instead, it is known for its striking beauty and its ability to thrive in dry, rocky soil. The intricate details of the California Poppy's petals, stem, and leaves are captured perfectly in this illustration. The delicate veining and textures are brought to life through the skillful use of handcoloring. This 19th-century botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic talent of the time but also provides valuable information about this iconic California wildflower. The California Poppy continues to be a beloved symbol of the Golden State and a reminder of the natural beauty that can be found in even the most unexpected places.
