EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is a captivating representation of Chrysanthemum sp. from the Delineation of Exotic Plants Cultivated in the Royal Garden at Kew, produced by the renowned botanical artist Franz Andreas Bauer in 1796. The illustration showcases the stunning pink blooms of this Chrysanthemum species, which was considered an exotic addition to European gardens during the 18th century. Bauer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the Chrysanthemum's velvety petals, intricately patterned leaves, and the delicate veins that crisscross their surfaces. The plant is classified as a member of the Asteraceae or Compositae family, which is the largest family of flowering plants, and is an essential part of the order Asterales within the class Eudicots, Angiospermae, Magnoliophyta, and the subclass Angiospermae. Chrysanthemums are dicotyledonous, meaning they have two seed leaves, and are angiosperms, which produce enclosed seeds. The name Chrysanthemum comes from the Greek words "chrysos," meaning gold, and "anthos," meaning flower, referring to the golden hue of the blooms. This illustration is a testament to the fascination with exotic flora during the 18th century and the role of botanical art in documenting and preserving the natural world. Today, Chrysanthemums continue to be popular ornamental plants, and their vibrant blooms bring joy to gardens around the world.
