EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Wild Onion, Allium neriniflorum, also known as Nerine-leaved Caloscord or Caloscordum nerinefolium. Native to China, this wild onion is a rare and captivating find in the botanical world. The intricate details of its delicate white flowers, reminiscent of those found on the Nerine lily, are masterfully depicted in this engraving. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, with the meticulous engraving skills of George Barclay brought to life the delicate details of the plant. This stunning work of art was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London, 1847. The publication was a leading authority on botanical illustrations during the 19th century, and this engraving is a testament to the exceptional quality of its content. The Wild Onion is a unique and captivating plant, with its slender stems adorned with narrow, linear leaves, and its delicate, bell-shaped flowers. The plant's small size and delicate beauty make it a prized addition to any botanical collection or garden. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the world of botanical discovery during the Victorian era.
