EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia hirta. Created by the skilled hand of George Cooke in 1828 for Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, England, this illustration captures the intricate details of this beloved flower with remarkable accuracy. The Black-eyed Susan, also known as the Brown-eyed Susan or Gloriosa Daisy, is a native North American wildflower that has become a cherished garden favorite around the world. With its bright yellow petals and distinctive dark brown or brownish-black central cone, this flower is a true delight to the senses. The meticulous process of creating this engraving involved first making a detailed drawing of the flower, which was then etched onto a copper plate. The plate was then inked and hand-colored, bringing the illustration to life with rich and vibrant hues. The result is an exquisite work of art that not only captures the beauty of the Black-eyed Susan but also showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of George Cooke and the Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a connection to the botanical explorations and discoveries of the 19th century. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the Black-eyed Susan, a flower that continues to brighten gardens and bring joy to people around the world.
