EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Oxblood Lily, Rhodophiala bifida. The illustration, created by W.B. Booth and masterfully engraved by S. Watts, was first published in Sydenham Edwards' esteemed botanical periodical, The Botanical Register, in London in 1833 by Ridgway. The Oxblood Lily, also known as the Carnamine Maryllis, Amaryllis Kermesiana, or Red-flowered Amaryllis, is a bulbous perennial native to South America. This stunning flower is characterized by its vibrant, deep red color and distinctive bell-shaped blooms. The intricate details of the Lily's petals, veins, and stamen are brilliantly captured in this historical engraving. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the already impressive artwork. This engraving is not only a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also a valuable historical record of botanical discovery. The Oxblood Lily continues to captivate gardeners and botanists alike with its allure and rarity, making this engraving a must-have for any botanical or historical collection.
