EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Rubble Aloe, Aloe perfoliata, also known as the Mitre Aloe or Aloe mitraeformis. The intricately detailed illustration was produced by Sydenham Edwards and engraved by F. Sansom Jr. for the Botanical Magazine, published by T. Curtis in London in 1810. The Rubble Aloe is a succulent plant native to South Africa, characterized by its unique rosettes of fleshy, lanceolate leaves arranged in a rosette, with each leaf attached to the stem at its base and appearing to surround it, giving the plant a 'rubble-like' appearance. The leaves are edged with small, sharp teeth and are covered in small, waxy tubercles. The plant's inflorescence is a dense, spike-like structure, bearing numerous small, tubular, yellow flowers. The Rubble Aloe is a slow-growing, hardy plant that thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It is highly prized for its ornamental value and is often cultivated in rock gardens and as a pot plant. This beautiful engraving not only captures the Rubble Aloe's unique appearance but also highlights the exceptional skill of the illustrator and engraver in bringing the plant to life in intricate detail. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty and realism, making this a truly stunning addition to any botanical collection.
