EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the enchanting Pink and Purple Flowered Poor Man's Orchid, Schizanthus pinnatus. Drawn by the skilled botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and meticulously engraved by Watts, this illustration is a stunning example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized botanical illustrations of the 19th century. The Poor Man's Orchid, also known as the Night-scented Pink, is a native plant of South America, particularly Chile and Peru. This orchid boasts vibrant pink and purple hues, with delicate, elongated petals that give way to a distinctive, tubular shape. The flowers emit a sweet fragrance at night, making them a favorite among nocturnal pollinators. The illustration is taken from Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona, a comprehensive work on horticulture and botany published in 1829. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, was a renowned horticulturist and author of many books on gardening. His collaborations with skilled botanical artists, such as Edwin Dalton Smith, resulted in some of the most beautiful and accurate botanical illustrations of the time. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of botanical art and the dedication of those who sought to document and preserve the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Pink and Purple Flowered Poor Man's Orchid to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and uniqueness even centuries after its discovery.
