EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Mountain Cinquefoil, Potentilla montana (previously known as Potentilla splendens), a vibrant and captivating wildflower native to the mountains and rocky slopes of Europe and Asia. The illustration was meticulously created by the skilled hand of George Cooke for Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, in the year 1828. Mountain Cinquefoil is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial herb, characterized by its charming five-petaled, bright yellow flowers that bloom in clusters from late spring to early autumn. The foliage is composed of palmate, lobed leaves, which are often tinged with red or purple hues, adding to the plant's allure. The intricate details of this engraving highlight the delicate veins on the leaves and the intricacies of the flower's petals, providing a stunning representation of the Mountain Cinquefoil's natural beauty. The hand-coloring adds a richness and depth to the illustration, making it a true work of art. George Cooke was a renowned botanical artist and engraver, whose works were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit. Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet was a leading horticultural establishment in London during the 19th century, known for its exceptional botanical illustrations and rare plant specimens. This illustration of Mountain Cinquefoil is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the artistry of George Cooke and Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet.
