EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Flesh-coloured Crane's Bill, Erodium incarnatum, a beautiful and intricately designed flowering plant. The engraving, created by Sansom after an illustration by Sydenham Edwards, was first published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine of London in 1794, under the direction of William Curtis. The Flesh-coloured Crane's Bill is a native of the Mediterranean region and is characterized by its distinctive pink or red, five-petaled flowers, which resemble the bill of a crane. The plant's leaves are lanceolate and fleshy, with a greenish-gray hue that blends seamlessly with the earth, making it an excellent groundcover in gardens. The intricate detailing of the engraving brings out the delicate textures and patterns of the plant's leaves and flowers, making it a true work of art. The meticulous shading and use of color give the image a lifelike quality, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the Flesh-coloured Crane's Bill in all its glory. This engraving is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time, who worked tirelessly to accurately document and preserve the natural world for future generations. The Botanical Magazine, under the leadership of William Curtis, was a pioneer in the field of botanical illustration, and this engraving is a prime example of its contributions to the scientific and artistic record of the natural world.
