Sukashiyuri: A Vibrant Vision of Thunberg's Orange Lily, Lilium maculatum This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Sukashiyuri," showcases the captivating beauty of Thunberg's Orange Lily, Lilium maculatum. The image, created by G. Barclay after a drawing by Miss Sarah Drake, is an intricate masterpiece taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, published in London in 1854 by G. Willis. The engraving captures every detail of this stunning Japanese lily, with its large, velvety orange petals adorned with intricate black spots, and its tall, sturdy stem supporting the elegant bloom. The delicate veining and texture of the petals are expertly rendered, as are the fine lines and patterns of the lily's leaves. Lilium maculatum, also known as Thunberg's orange lily or Thunbergianum, is a rare and beautiful species native to Japan. It was first described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1794 and later introduced to Europe in the early 19th century. The name "Sukashiyuri" is believed to derive from the Japanese words "suka" (good) and "shiyuri" (four seasons), reflecting the lily's ability to bloom in various seasons. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the 19th-century botanical community, who meticulously documented and celebrated the natural world. The intricate details of this engraving invite us to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of Sukashiyuri, a true marvel of nature.
