EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the beautiful Lobed Cyananth, Cyananthus lobatus, a rare and captivating plant native to China. The engraving, created by George Barclay based on an original illustration by Miss Sarah Drake, was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley, in 1847. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate veining on the lobed leaves and the delicate petals of the flower, which blooms female and is often compared to a woman's face with its graceful curves and delicate features. The engraving captures the essence of the plant's beauty and rarity, transporting the viewer to the gardens of China where it was first discovered. Miss Sarah Drake, a talented artist and painter, expertly captured the essence of the plant, and George Barclay's engraving brings her vision to life in stunning detail. The Edwards Botanical Register was a leading publication of its time, showcasing the most beautiful and intriguing plants from around the world, and this engraving is a testament to its commitment to botanical accuracy and artistic excellence.
