This exquisite zincograph print, drawn and engraved by the renowned botanical artist C.T. Rosenberg, showcases a stunning collection of Hybrid Cape and Bedding Pelargoniums. The depicted varieties include Quercifolium roseum, Denticulatum superbum, Sidonium variegatum, Citriodorum violaceum, Odoratissimum punctatum, Citriodorum elegantissimum, Cleopatra, Formosissimum carneum, and several other unnamed hybrids. C.T. Rosenberg was an accomplished botanical artist, known for his intricate and detailed illustrations. He created this masterpiece for Thomas Moore's The Garden Companion and Florist's Guide, published by Charles Frederick Cheffins in 1852. Moore, who was the Curator of the Botanic Garden, Chelsea, from 1847 until his death, was a significant figure in the horticultural world during the mid-19th century. Rosenberg's illustrations graced the pages of several prominent horticultural publications, including Moore's The Gardeners Magazine of Botany and W.J. Hooker's Curtis's Botanical Magazine. This print is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time, providing a vivid and accurate record of these beautiful Pelargonium varieties. The Hybrid Cape and Bedding Pelargoniums, also known as Geraniums, are a popular choice for gardeners and florists due to their vibrant colors, fragrant flowers, and ease of cultivation. The varieties depicted in this print showcase the diverse range of shapes, sizes, and hues that were available during the mid-19th century. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also an essential historical document, providing valuable insights into the world of horticulture during this period.
