EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Imbricata hybrid camellia (Camellia japonica imbricata). Created by the skilled hands of George Cooke, this masterpiece is an accurate representation of the plant as observed by George Loddiges and recorded in the Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, in 1833. The Imbricata hybrid camellia is a captivating cross between Camellia japonica and another camellia species, resulting in its unique and striking appearance. The engraving reveals the intricate details of its elegant, double-layered petals, which are arranged in an imbricate, or overlapping, fashion, giving the flower its name. The rich, velvety texture and deep, captivating hue of the blooms are beautifully captured in this illustration. The botanical cabinet, established by Conrad Loddiges in 1820, was a significant centre for the study and cultivation of exotic plants in Europe during the Victorian era. George Loddiges, Conrad's son, was an accomplished botanical artist and horticulturist who made numerous contributions to the field, including the discovery and documentation of many new plant species. This stunning engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the Loddiges family but also highlights the beauty and allure of the Imbricata hybrid camellia, which continues to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts to this day.
