EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases the Plumed Cockscomb, scientifically known as Celosia argentea, also referred to as the Silver Cockscomb or the Cock's-comb. The intricately detailed illustration is an exquisite example of Victorian-era botanical art, created by Desire Bois for Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Plumed Cockscomb is a vibrant and eye-catching annual plant, native to tropical regions of the world. Its unique feature is the plume-like inflorescence that resembles the crest of a rooster, hence the common name. The silvery-white, feathery plumes contrast beautifully with the rich, velvety burgundy or red bracts that encircle the base of each flower. This illustration highlights several varieties of the Plumed Cockscomb, including the Bloodleaf (Celosia argentea 'Herbstii'), the Variegated Acuminata (Celosia argentea 'Var. Acuminata Aureo-Reticulata'), and the Iresine or Red-leaved Cockscomb (Celosia argentea 'Iresine'). Each variety displays its distinct coloration and texture, adding to the overall visual interest of the image. The Plumed Cockscomb was a popular ornamental plant in Victorian gardens, and its cultivation was a source of pride for many horticulturists. The intricate details of this chromolithograph serve as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the time, who meticulously captured the beauty and diversity of these fascinating plants for future generations to appreciate.
