EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the enchanting Narcissus cernuus, also known as the Sulphur-coloured Ganymede Narcissus or Narcissus concolor. The daffodil, a beloved member of the Amaryllidaceae family, is captured in all its splendor in this beautiful botanical illustration. The image, produced by the skilled hands of Weddell after Edwin Dalton Smith, was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854 by G. Willis in London. The Narcissus cernuus is distinguished by its graceful, pendulous flowers, which hang in elegant clusters. The blooms exhibit a striking combination of pale yellow and orange hues, with a delicate green center. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, adding to its elegant appearance. Botanical illustrations like this one played a crucial role in the scientific community during the 19th century. They provided an accurate record of plant specimens, allowing for the identification, classification, and documentation of new discoveries. The intricate details captured in this engraving serve as a testament to the dedication and expertise of the artists and scientists involved in the production of these works. The Narcissus cernuus continues to captivate gardeners and botanists alike, with its elegant blooms adding a touch of beauty and charm to gardens around the world. This stunning illustration serves not only as a reminder of the rich history of botanical art but also as an inspiration for the appreciation of the natural world.
