EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration of Blue Flowered Isotoma axillaris, a beautiful and rare plant, is taken from Charles McIntosh's horticultural masterpiece, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. The illustration was meticulously drawn by the skilled botanical artist, Edwin Dalton Smith, and expertly engraved by F.W. Smith. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, was a prolific author and horticulturist, whose works were highly regarded in the 19th century. Isotoma axillaris, also known as Blue Isotoma or Blue-flowered Isotoma, is a herbaceous perennial that belongs to the Lamiaceae family. The plant is native to South America and is characterized by its attractive, blue-violet flowers, which bloom in the axils of the leaves. The illustration captures the delicate beauty of the plant in great detail, showcasing the intricate veining on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flower. The handcolored technique used in this illustration adds an extra layer of beauty and realism, making the plant appear even more lifelike. The use of watercolors and intricate brushwork brings out the subtle variations in color and texture, making this a true work of art. This illustration is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical artists and horticulturists of the 19th century, who meticulously documented the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The historical significance of this illustration, along with the artistic merit of the handcolored technique, makes it a valuable addition to any botanical or horticultural collection.
