EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases two stunning varieties of carnations, the Picotee and the Scarlet Bizard. The Picotee carnation, depicted on the left, is a delightful hybrid with a ruffled edge of white petals surrounding the pink center. Its elegant beauty has made it a popular choice for gardeners and florists for centuries. On the right, the Scarlet Bizard carnation boasts vibrant, scarlet-red petals adorned with intricate white veining and a darker red center. This variety, also known as the Striped Splendid or the Picotee de Paris, was first introduced in the late 18th century and continues to captivate with its unique and captivating appearance. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Sydenham Edwards and meticulously engraved by F. Sansom for the esteemed botanist and naturalist, William Curtis. The artwork was produced as part of the Lectures on Botany, as delivered in the Botanic Garden at Lambeth in 1805. The botanical magazine and register in which this image was published was a significant contribution to the scientific community, documenting and disseminating knowledge about various plant species. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving serve as a testament to the dedication and artistry of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. The Picotee and Scarlet Bizard carnations, with their captivating beauty and rich history, remain cherished favorites among flower lovers and botanical enthusiasts.
