EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Althaeiflora hybrid camellia (Camellia japonica althaeiflora), a captivating cultivar of the beloved Camellia japonica. The illustration, created by George Cooke after George Loddiges, was produced as part of the Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet collection in Hackney, London, around 1830. The Althaeiflora hybrid camellia is renowned for its unique and alluring features. Its elegant, glossy leaves are a rich, dark green hue, providing the perfect backdrop for its stunning, semi-double, rose-pink blooms. Each petal is delicately edged with a subtle, lighter pink blush, adding an air of refinement and elegance to this already captivating plant. The intricate details of the Althaeiflora hybrid camellia's flowers are expertly captured in this engraving, showcasing the delicate veining and intricate stamen and pistil structures. The attention to detail is truly remarkable, allowing viewers to appreciate the plant's beauty up close and personal. The Althaeiflora hybrid camellia was a popular cultivar during the Victorian era, and its inclusion in the Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet collection speaks to its significance and appeal during that time. Today, it remains a cherished plant in many gardens around the world, and this beautiful engraving serves as a testament to its timeless allure. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is a true masterpiece, a work of art that captures the essence of the Althaeiflora hybrid camellia in all its glory. It is a must-have for any botanical art collection, and a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world.
