EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Capeweed, Arctotheca calendula, also known as Cryptostemma calendulaceum, Plain Capeweed, Treasureflower, or Marigold of the Cape. The illustration was meticulously created by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis and subsequently engraved by Weddell for publication in the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London, in the year 1822. The Capeweed is a native of South Africa and is characterized by its low-growing, mat-forming habit and its vibrant, golden-yellow daisy-like flowers. The plant's delicate, fern-like foliage is adorned with intricate veins and forms a dense, spreading rosette. The flowers bloom in clusters, creating a stunning display of color against the backdrop of the Cape's rugged terrain. The intricate details of the Capeweed's anatomy are brought to life in this engraving, revealing the intricacies of its reproductive structures and the delicate veining of its leaves. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. The botanical illustration and engraving were an essential part of the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 18th and 19th centuries. These meticulously crafted works allowed for the accurate identification and classification of new plant species and contributed significantly to the advancement of botanical knowledge. This stunning image of the Capeweed serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the skill of the artists and engravers who captured it for posterity.
