EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Camellia japonica anemoniflora, a stunning variety of the Camellia japonica species. The illustration, created by George Cooke after George Loddiges, is a testament to the meticulous artistry and scientific precision of the Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, during the early 19th century. Camellia japonica anemoniflora, commonly known as the 'Anemone-flowered Camellia,' is renowned for its unique and alluring features. The large, velvety petals of this Camellia variety are adorned with intricate, anemone-like red markings, giving it a distinctive and captivating appearance. The flowers bloom in late winter and early spring, providing a vibrant burst of colour amidst the otherwise dreary season. The Camellia japonica species, native to Japan and China, has long held a special place in horticulture and botanical study. The Camellia japonica anemoniflora, in particular, has been a favourite among collectors and gardeners for its ornamental value and rarity. This engraving, produced in 1818, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of this remarkable plant. The handcoloured copperplate engraving process involved creating an engraving on a copper plate, which was then inked and hand-coloured by skilled artisans. The result is a highly detailed and visually stunning representation of the Camellia japonica anemoniflora, which continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
