EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases a stunning arrangement of four distinctive plants: Nectarium of the Crown Imperial 1 (Fritillaria imperialis), Grass of Parnassus 2 (Parnassia palustris), Iris 3, and Nasturtium 4 (Tropaeolum majus). The illustration is a masterpiece by the renowned botanical artist Sydenham Edwards, created for William Curtis' Lectures on Botany, delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, London, in 1805. Edwards, born in 1768, was a prolific artist, producing thousands of botanical plates for the esteemed Curtis Botanical Magazine and his own Botanical Register. His meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistic skill are evident in this image. The Nectarium of the Crown Imperial, also known as the Emperor's Crown or Fritillaria imperialis, is a bulbous perennial plant native to the eastern Himalayas and Central China. Its vibrant red-purple hooded flowers bloom in late winter and early spring, making it a cherished addition to many gardens. Grass of Parnassus, or Parnassia palustris, is a low-growing perennial plant with white, star-shaped flowers that resemble grass. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North America and thrives in damp, nutrient-poor soils. The Iris, represented here but not specifically identified, is a large genus of flowering plants with showy flowers. Irises are native to Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean and are cultivated for their beautiful, often fragrant blooms. Lastly, the Nasturtium, or Tropaeolum majus, is a popular annual plant known for its bright, edible flowers. Native to South America, it is now grown worldwide for its attractive foliage and colorful blooms. This historical botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty and diversity of these plants but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art and the remarkable work of Sydenham Edwards.
