EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration depicts the Yellow and Brown Flowered Wing-stalked Ammobium alatum, a fascinating botanical discovery of the 19th century. The image is taken from Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, was a prolific author and horticulturist whose works were highly regarded in the botanical community. The illustration itself was produced by the skilled hand of botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith, who was known for his intricate and detailed drawings. Smith's work was often commissioned by prominent botanists and collectors, and his illustrations graced numerous publications of the time. The Yellow and Brown Flowered Wing-stalked Ammobium alatum is depicted in all its glory, with its vibrant yellow and rich brown flowers adorning tall winged stalks. The illustration provides a stunningly accurate representation of the plant, with each petal, vein, and detail expertly rendered. The engraving, executed by F.W. Smith, further enhances the beauty of the illustration, bringing out the intricacies of the botanical subject and adding a level of depth and texture. The result is a captivating image that transports us back in time to the world of 19th-century botanical discovery and exploration. This illustration is a testament to the dedication and expertise of McIntosh, Smith, and their contemporaries, who documented and celebrated the natural world in all its splendor. It remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and a source of inspiration for artists and horticulturists alike.
