EDITORS COMMENTS
Notholirion thomsonianum, also known as the Rosy Indian Lily or Lilium roseum, is a stunning and rare beauty in the world of horticulture. This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by G. Barclay after a specimen drawn by Miss Sarah Drake, is an exquisite representation of this enchanting flower. The image is taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, published in London in 1854 by G. Willis. The Rosy Indian Lily is native to the western Himalayas and is characterized by its large, rosy-pink flowers with a yellow center. The flowers bloom in the summer and are borne on tall, erect stems. This botanical illustration captures the delicate intricacy of the Lily's petals, veining, and stamen, providing a detailed and accurate portrayal of the plant. Miss Sarah Drake was a talented botanical artist and collector, whose drawings were highly regarded for their precision and beauty. Her collaboration with G. Barclay and John Lindley and Robert Sweet resulted in the creation of this stunning work of art, which remains an important historical record of the Rosy Indian Lily. The hand-coloring technique used in this engraving adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the rich hues of the Lily's petals and enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. This botanical illustration is not only a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century but also a reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of the natural world.
