EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicts Drummond's Rudbeckia, Rudbeckia drummondii, also known as Drummond's Obeliscaria or Obeliscaria drummondii. The botanical illustration was created by the talented Miss Sara Maund and expertly engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. Drummond's Rudbeckia is a native plant of North America, specifically found in Texas and Mexico. This beautiful wildflower boasts bright yellow composite flowers with brown centers, which bloom from late spring to early autumn. The plant grows up to 1.5 meters tall and is characterized by its obelisk-shaped inflorescence, giving rise to its alternative common name. The intricate details of the Rudbeckia's petals, veins, and stamen are masterfully captured in this engraving, showcasing the dedication and skill of both the artist and engraver. The delicate hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This Victorian-era botanical illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of botany during a time when the study and documentation of new plant species was a significant scientific pursuit. The image of Drummond's Rudbeckia is not only a testament to the beauty of nature but also a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
