EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Swan River Daisy, Brachyscome iberidifolia. Captured in intricate detail by the skilled hand of G. Barclay, this botanical illustration was created from a drawing by Miss Sarah Drake and published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. The Swan River Daisy, also known as Brachycome iberidifolia or Brachycome, is a native Australian flower that thrives near water sources. Its delicate white petals, with a rosy centre, surround a golden disc, creating a stunning contrast that has captivated botanists and artists alike for centuries. The Swan River Daisy's natural habitat is the Swan and Canning Rivers in Western Australia, where it can be found growing in shallow water and along the riverbanks. This charming wildflower was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, as it not only added beauty but also symbolized purity and innocence. The meticulous process of creating this copperplate engraving involved first creating a drawing, which was then transferred to a copper plate. The plate was then etched with acid, and the intricate details were hand-coloured using watercolours. The resulting image is a stunning testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the 19th century. This beautiful Swan River Daisy illustration is a reminder of the rich history of botanical art and the importance of preserving the natural world through artistic representation.
