EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the rare and endangered Pink of Lebanon, scientifically known as Dianthus libanotis. The delicate beauty of this flower, with its soft pink petals and darker pink veins, has captured the attention of botanists and garden enthusiasts for centuries. Originating from the mountainous regions of Lebanon, this carnation species is now considered critically endangered due to habitat loss and overexploitation. The Pink of Lebanon once grew abundantly in the wild, but its natural habitat has been destroyed by deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization. This stunning illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and engraved by S. Watts for the Botanical Register, published by Sydenham Edwards in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring brings out the intricate patterns and textures of the Pink of Lebanon's petals and leaves, making this a treasured piece of botanical art. The preservation of endangered species like the Pink of Lebanon is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the survival of future generations. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve this rare flower, including the establishment of botanical gardens and the cultivation of Pink of Lebanon in controlled environments. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of appreciating and protecting the natural world around us. Let us cherish the beauty of the Pink of Lebanon and work towards ensuring its continued existence for generations to come.
