1833 Arabis Cress Curtis Hooker Jackson Rosea
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Rose-coloured Rock-cress, Arabis rosea. Drawn by the renowned botanical illustrator, William Jackson Hooker, and meticulously engraved by Swan, this illustration was first published in The Botanical Magazine, under the direction of Samuel Curtis, in 1833. The Rose-coloured Rock-cress is a delightful, low-growing plant native to the European Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. With its rosettes of velvety, rose-tinted leaves and clusters of delicate, pink flowers, it is a true gem among the rocky crags and crevices where it thrives. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of botanical discovery during the 19th century. Hooker, a pioneering figure in the field of botany, was instrumental in the development of systematic botanical classification. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accuracy are evident in this stunning representation of the Rose-coloured Rock-cress. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1820, was a leading publication for botanical illustrations during this period. Its high-quality engravings, produced using the copperplate technique, were widely admired for their beauty and precision. This illustration, in particular, is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators and the enduring appeal of the natural world.
