EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Flat-topped Aeonium, scientifically known as Aeonium tabuliforme, or Sempervivum tabulaeforme. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of George Cooke, was originally published in Conrad Loddiges' Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, in 1828. The Flat-topped Aeonium is a succulent plant, native to the Canary Islands and Madeira. It is characterized by its unique, saucer-shaped rosettes of fleshy, green leaves that radiate from a central point, giving the plant a flat-topped appearance. The leaves are covered in small, white hairs, which help to reflect sunlight and conserve water in its natural habitat. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of botanical discovery during the 19th century. The intricate details captured in the engraving highlight the artist's meticulous attention to detail and the importance placed on documenting new plant discoveries during this time. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of beauty and realism to the image, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. The Flat-topped Aeonium remains a popular plant among horticulturists and garden enthusiasts today due to its unique appearance and ease of cultivation. It is often grown as a houseplant and can be propagated by offsets or leaf cuttings. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical discovery and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world.
