EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of California goldfields, scientifically known as Lasthenia californica, also referred to as the Golden-anthered baeria or Chrysostoma chrysostoma. The illustration was meticulously created by G. Barclay, based on the original observation and drawings by J. T. Hart. It was published as part of John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854 by G. Willis in London. The California goldfields is a native wildflower that graces the sunny slopes and meadows of California, blooming in a spectacular display of golden-yellow flowers from late winter to early summer. The delicate, daisy-like blossoms with their golden anthers contrast beautifully against the dark green foliage, creating a stunning visual effect. This botanical illustration is a testament to the intricate details and artistic skill of the 19th century. The intricately rendered veins on the leaves, the delicate texture of the petals, and the precise shading of the anthers all contribute to the lifelike representation of this beloved California native. The California goldfields holds a special place in the history of botanical exploration and documentation. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical collection, but also as a reminder of the rich natural history of California and the dedication of the early botanical explorers and illustrators who captured its beauty for future generations.
