EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the crimson-flowered climbing Lophospermum scandens, also known as the crimson flowered scandent Lophospermum. The illustration was created by the skilled botanical artist, Edwin Dalton Smith, and meticulously engraved by Watts. It was originally published in Charles McIntosh's esteemed work, "Flora and Pomona," in 1829. Charles McIntosh (1794-1864) was a renowned Scottish gardener who served the European aristocracy and royalty. His extensive horticultural knowledge was documented in numerous books, making him a significant figure in the world of gardening during the 19th century. Edwin Dalton Smith (1792-1868) was a prolific botanical artist who worked for various prominent figures in the botanical world, including Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. His intricate and detailed illustrations were highly sought after for their accuracy and beauty. This illustration captures the crimson-hued flowers of Lophospermum scandens, which are arranged in clusters along the stems of this scandent, or climbing, plant. The botanical illustration also highlights the fruit of the plant, adding to its scientific value. The handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. The illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of both Smith and Watts, as well as McIntosh's dedication to documenting the natural world. It provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of preserving and studying the natural world during the 19th century.
