EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the enchanting Woolly-flowered Geranium, Geranium erianthum. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by George Barclay for the prestigious Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London during 1842. The Woolly-flowered Geranium, also known as Sydenham Geranium, is a charming herbaceous perennial native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia. Its delicate foliage is covered in soft, woolly hairs, giving it a distinctive and appealing texture. The plant produces clusters of small, pink to purplish-blue flowers, which bloom from mid-summer to autumn. Miss Sarah Drake's illustration captures the intricacies of the Woolly-flowered Geranium's form and details, from the fuzzy stems and leaves to the delicate petals of its flowers. George Barclay's engraving further brings the illustration to life, with the fine lines and shading conveying the subtle textures and contours of the plant. John Lindley's Edwards Botanical Register was a leading horticultural publication of its time, showcasing high-quality botanical illustrations and providing valuable information on a wide range of plants. This Woolly-flowered Geranium engraving is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and craftsmen involved in producing these beautiful and informative works. The Woolly-flowered Geranium remains a popular garden plant today, appreciated for its attractive foliage and charming flowers. This engraving is a timeless record of its beauty and a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire and delight us.
