EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration depicts the crimson-flowered Metrosideros speciosus, also known as the showy or red pine tree, a native to New Zealand. The illustration was created in the 19th century by the skilled botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith, with engravings by F.W. Smith. The illustration is taken from Charles McIntosh's horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. Charles McIntosh (1794-1864) was a renowned Scottish gardener who served the European aristocracy and royalty, and authored numerous books on gardening. Smith, a talented botanical artist, drew for various botanical collectors and publishers, including Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. The crimson-colored flowers of the Metrosideros speciosus are shown in full bloom, surrounded by lush green foliage. The tree is also depicted bearing fruit, which is characteristic of the species. The intricate details of the flowers and leaves are beautifully rendered in the illustration, showcasing the artists' exceptional skill and attention to detail. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of beauty to the illustration, making the colors more vibrant and lifelike. The historical significance of this illustration lies in its representation of a plant that was relatively new to European horticulture at the time, and its inclusion in McIntosh's influential publication. This illustration is a testament to the rich botanical heritage of the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical artists and horticulturists played in documenting and disseminating knowledge about the natural world.
