EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Dutch yellow crocus, Crocus flavus, also known as the cream-coloured crocus or the Lageniflorus var. aureus lacteus. The image, created by the skilled hand of Weddell after Edwin Dalton Smith, was originally published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854 by G. Willis in London. The Dutch yellow crocus is a delightful spring bloomer, characterized by its vibrant yellow, cream-hued petals that surround a dark center. This botanical illustration captures the intricate details of the flower's delicate structure, from the elegant lines of its petals to the intricate veining on its leaves. The Dutch yellow crocus is native to Europe and Western Asia, and it is often cultivated for its beautiful and fragrant blooms. The crocus genus belongs to the Iridaceae family, and it is known for its distinctive bulbs that store nutrients for the plant during the dormant season. This stunning illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the Victorian era, when botanical exploration and documentation were at the forefront of scientific discovery. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this hand-colored copperplate engraving continue to captivate and inspire us today, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
