EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Coneflowers, or Rudbeckia hirta, also known as Black-eyed Susans and Tarweed. The illustration was meticulously created by Sydenham Edwards and masterfully engraved by F. Sansom for William Curtis' Lectures on Botany, delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, London, in 1805. Rudbeckia hirta, a native of North America, is a beloved wildflower that graces meadows and roadsides with its vibrant, golden petals and distinctive dark brown or black center, resembling the eye of a Susan or a cone. The plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and is commonly known as Coneflower due to its distinctive, dome-shaped seed head. The illustration also includes Rudbeckia hirta's close relative, Rudbeckia polygamia, or the Deerhead, which is characterized by its multiple flower heads arranged in a flat-topped inflorescence. The engraving's intricate details bring out the intricacies of the flowers' veins, petals, and stems, offering a glimpse into the botanical world of the early 19th century. Sydenham Edwards, a skilled botanical artist, captured the essence of these flowers with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The hand-coloring added to the engraving further enhances the illustration's beauty and realism, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection or study of natural history.
