EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Highcleve Azalea, Azalea altaclerensis, a beautiful hybrid created through the careful cross-pollination of Azalea sinensis with the late-flowering variety of Azalea viscosa. The engraving is based on an illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London in 1842 by Ridgeway. The Highcleve Azalea is a testament to the art of horticultural hybridization, showcasing the best qualities of both parent plants. The result is a stunning azalea variety with an extended blooming season, producing vibrant flowers that add a splash of colour to gardens well into the late summer months. The intricate details of the azalea's delicate petals and lush foliage are expertly captured in this engraving, thanks to the skilled hand of George Barclay. The use of handcolouring further enhances the image, bringing the azalea to life and making it a true work of art. The Highcleve Azalea was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, and its beauty continues to captivate gardeners and botanists alike. This engraving serves as a testament to the importance of botanical exploration and the beauty of nature, as well as the artistic skill and dedication of those who document it.
