EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, titled "Mesembryanthemum calamiforme L. Var," is a remarkable example of botanical illustration from the 18th century. Created by the talented English artist Ann Lee between 1776 and 1778, this illustration is part of a bound volume of drawings, mostly on vellum, depicting the genus Mesembryanthemum. The drawing is a detailed representation of the Cylindrophyllum calamiforme variety of Mesembryanthemum calamiforme, a succulent plant belonging to the Aizoaceae family, order Caryophyllales, class Magnoliophyta, and subclass Eudicotyledonae. Ann Lee's illustration captures the intricate details of the female flowering plant in all its beauty. The delicate petals, which are arranged in a cylindrical shape, are depicted in soft shades of pink and white, while the stamen and pistil are rendered in meticulous detail. The vellum surface adds a textured quality to the image, enhancing the visual appeal of the illustration. Lee's artistic abilities are evident in the precise rendering of the plant's anatomy, as well as her skillful use of color and shading. Her attention to detail and commitment to accuracy reflect the high standards of botanical illustration during this period. As one of the few known women botanical illustrators of her time, Ann Lee's work is an important contribution to the history of botanical art. Her illustration of Mesembryanthemum calamiforme L. Var is a testament to her artistic talent and her deep understanding of the natural world.
