EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving and botanical illustration depict the enchanting Rose campion, Silene coronaria, also known as the Rock cockle or Agrostemma coronaria. Dating back to 1787, this artwork was created by the renowned botanical artist James Sowerby for William Curtis' The Botanical Magazine, published in Lambeth Marsh, London. The Rose campion is a vibrant and elegant wildflower, native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Its delicate pink to purple blooms, with their distinctive white centers, unfurl in clusters atop slender stems, adding a burst of color to meadows, woodlands, and rocky slopes. The five-petaled flowers are adorned with intricate veining and subtle shading, showcased in stunning detail in this meticulously crafted engraving. The botanical illustration also highlights the distinctive foliage of the Rose campion, with its narrow, lanceolate leaves arranged in opposite pairs along the stem. The plant typically grows to a height of 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) and thrives in well-drained soils and full sun. As a valued addition to any botanical collection or garden-inspired decor, this artwork serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy, bringing the Rose campion to life and inviting the viewer to appreciate the delicate details of this exquisite flower.
