EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the vibrant and captivating Scarlet Flowered Trumpet-flower, Bignonia grandiflora, as depicted in Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. The illustration was meticulously created by botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and expertly engraved by F.W. Smith. Charles McIntosh (1794-1864), a Scottish gardener, was a prominent figure in European aristocratic and royal gardens during the 19th century. His extensive knowledge and expertise in horticulture led him to author numerous books on gardening and botany. McIntosh's "Flora and Pomona" was a significant contribution to the field, featuring detailed and accurate botanical illustrations of various plants and fruits. Edwin Dalton Smith was a skilled botanical artist who worked with notable figures such as Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. His intricate and lifelike drawings were highly regarded for their precision and beauty. In this illustration, Smith masterfully captured the bold scarlet hue and intricate details of the trumpet-flower's petals, as well as the delicate texture of its foliage. The engraving by F.W. Smith further enhances the illustration's detail and clarity, allowing for a closer examination of the plant's unique features. The resulting image is a stunning testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration during the 19th century.
