EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Long-stalked Sisyrinchium, Solenomelus pedunculatus, also known as Sisyrinchium pedunculatum. The illustration was created by R.K. Greville and expertly engraved by Swan for publication in The Botanical Magazine, edited by Samuel Curtis, in 1830. The Long-stalked Sisyrinchium is a beautiful and intricately designed flowering plant native to North America. The engraving captures the plant's graceful long stalks, which can reach up to 30 inches in height, supporting the delicate, blue-violet flowers. The plant's leaves are narrow and linear, adding to its elegant appearance. The Long-stalked Sisyrinchium was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during the 19th century due to its unique beauty and rarity. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrator and engraver. The Botanical Magazine was a leading horticultural publication of the time, dedicated to the publication of high-quality botanical illustrations and descriptions of new and exotic plants. The publication was instrumental in advancing the field of botany and horticulture, and this engraving of the Long-stalked Sisyrinchium is a prime example of its contributions to the scientific community. This historical illustration is a beautiful addition to any botanical collection and a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation.
