EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Saucer Magnolia, Magnolia soulangeana, also known as the Soulange-Bodin Magnolia or simply Saucer Magnolia. The botanical illustration, created by Edward Dalton Smith, was published in Robert Sweet's renowned horticultural book, "The British Flower Garden," in 1828. The Saucer Magnolia is a hybrid magnolia, originating from a cross between Magnolia denudata and Magnolia liliiflora, which was first discovered in China in 1820 by French botanist, Pierre Soulange-Bodin. This hybrid magnolia is celebrated for its early blooming and its spectacular, large, saucer-shaped flowers that burst forth in a vibrant display of pink and white hues. The intricate details of the Saucer Magnolia's flowers are beautifully captured in this engraving, with each petal's delicate veins and the distinctive stamen and pistil carefully rendered. The background features a serene landscape, with the magnolia tree standing proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and verdant foliage. The Saucer Magnolia has long been a favorite among gardeners and botanists for its stunning appearance and its ability to bring a sense of wonder and delight to any garden. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this magnificent plant and the art of botanical illustration.
