EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases Penstemon atropurpureus, also known as the dark purple chelone or atropurpurea chelone. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edward Dalton Smith and beautifully rendered in engraving by Weddell for Robert Sweet's seminal work, "The British Flower Garden," published in Ridgeway, London, in 1828. Penstemon atropurpureus is a herbaceous perennial native to the western United States, distinguished by its tall spikes of rich, dark purple flowers. The plant's common name, chelone, comes from the Greek word for tortoise due to the shape of its seed capsule, which resembles a tortoise's shell. The intricate details of the Penstemon's foliage and flowers are expertly captured in this botanical illustration. The veins on the leaves are delicately rendered, and the petals of the flower are depicted with a lifelike quality that invites the viewer to touch. The deep, velvety purple hue of the flowers is brought to life through the skilled application of hand-applied watercolors. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of botanical illustration during the 19th century. It provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this native North American Penstemon species in a way that would have been unimaginable at the time. The Penstemon atropurpureus remains a beloved plant in gardens today, and this engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of botanical art.
