This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by George Cooke, dated 1825, depicts the beautiful Ribes triflorum, also known as the three-flowered gooseberry or three-flowered currant. Native to the northern parts of North America, this shrub is characterized by its graceful branches adorned with clusters of three delicate white flowers, each with a pink tinge at the base. The engraving captures the intricate details of the plant's foliage, which features oval-shaped, serrated leaves that turn a rich red hue in the fall. The Ribes triflorum was a popular addition to Victorian-era botanical gardens and private collections due to its ornamental value and edible berries, which are smaller than those of the common gooseberry but have a sweeter taste. The engraving is part of Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet, a renowned horticultural institution based in Hackney, London, which was known for its extensive collection of rare and exotic plants. George Cooke was a skilled botanical artist and engraver who worked for Conrad Loddiges, producing high-quality illustrations of various plants for their catalogues and promotional materials. This particular engraving showcases Cooke's exceptional talent in capturing the essence of the Ribes triflorum, from the delicate petals of its flowers to the intricate veining of its leaves. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of detail and depth, making this an exquisite piece of botanical art.
