EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Rosy tree rhododendron, Rhododendron arboreum var. roseum. The intricately detailed illustration, created by Frederick W. Smith after J. Hart, was originally published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. The Rosy tree rhododendron is a captivating shrub, native to the Himalayas, with its vibrant pink blooms adorning the tree-like branches. The delicate petals of the flowers are arranged in a bell-shape, creating a stunning display that attracts a variety of pollinators. The handcoloured technique adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the illustration, bringing out the intricate veining on the leaves and the subtle variations in colour on the petals. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way each petal is individually coloured, creating a lifelike representation of the Rhododendron arboreum var. roseum. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of this rhododendron variety and the skill of the artists and engravers who captured it so perfectly. The illustration is a valuable addition to any botanical collection or garden enthusiast's library, offering a window into the world of horticulture and natural history during the Victorian era.
