EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Mr. Ross's camellia hybrid, Camellia japonica rossi. The illustration, created by George Cooke after George Loddiges, was produced as part of Conrad Loddiges' Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, around 1830. Camellia japonica rossi, also known as Mr. Ross's camellia, is a stunning hybrid camellia that boasts large, velvety, and richly colored blooms. In this illustration, the camellia's petals are depicted in a captivating blend of pink and white, with intricate veining and a delicate sheen. The foliage surrounding the flower is also detailed, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the print. George Cooke, a skilled engraver, expertly captured the essence of this camellia hybrid through his meticulous technique. The copperplate engraving process involved creating an image on a copper plate using a burin, which was then inked and pressed onto paper to produce the final image. The addition of hand-coloring further enhanced the detail and vibrancy of the print. The Botanical Cabinet, established by Conrad Loddiges, was a significant contributor to the advancement of botanical illustration during the 19th century. This collection of botanical prints, including Mr. Ross's camellia hybrid, showcased the beauty and diversity of the natural world and served as a valuable resource for scientific research and horticultural pursuits. Today, this illustration remains a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past, as well as a reminder of the enduring allure of camellias and their place in horticultural history.
