EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration depicts the Yellow-flowered Splendid Cinquefoil, Potentilla splendens, a beautiful and rare plant in the Rosaceae family. The illustration was created in the 19th century by the skilled botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith, with the engraving done by F.W. Smith. This illustration was originally published in Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," in 1829. Charles McIntosh (1794-1864) was a Scottish gardener who gained fame for his work with European aristocracy and royalty. He was a prolific author, penning numerous books on gardening and horticulture. Edwin Dalton Smith was also a prominent figure in the botanical world, known for his intricate and detailed drawings, which were often published by Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. The Yellow-flowered Splendid Cinquefoil is a low-growing shrub that produces bright yellow, five-petaled flowers in the summer. The plant's leaves are palmate, with lobes that resemble the fingers of a hand, hence the common name cinquefoil. The illustration captures the delicate beauty of the plant's flowers, with their golden hue and intricate veining. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the botanical artists and engravers of the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of horticulture and botany during this fascinating period of history.
