EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicts the vibrant Red Leschenaultia, Lechenaultia formosa, a native Australian wildflower. The engraving is the work of George Cooke, based on an original observation and illustration by Thomas Shotter Boys, and was produced for Conrad Loddiges' Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, in 1825. The Red Leschenaultia is a small shrub that is endemic to Western Australia, where it is found in the Swan Coastal Plain and Jarrah Forest regions. The plant is characterized by its bright red, tubular flowers, which bloom in clusters during the spring months. The engraving captures the intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stamens, as well as the delicate texture of the plant's leaves. Hand-colouring was a common technique used in botanical illustration during the 19th century, allowing for greater detail and accuracy in the representation of natural specimens. In this case, the red hue of the Red Leschenaultia is brought to life through the careful application of pigment, adding to the overall beauty and allure of the illustration. The Red Leschenaultia was an important discovery for European botanists, who were fascinated by the unique flora of the Australian continent. This engraving would have been a prized addition to any botanical collection or nursery, providing a glimpse into the diverse and captivating natural world of the southern hemisphere.
