EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored botanical engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Lyons Chelone, or Chelone lyonii, as it was known in the early 19th century. The plant, also referred to as Chelone major, is depicted in all its glory in this detailed and intricately designed illustration by the renowned botanical artist Weddell. The engraving was published in the prestigious Curtis's Botanical Magazine, based in London, in 1816. The Lyons Chelone is a perennial herb native to the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its large, showy, rose-pink to white flowers, which bloom in the summer and attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The plant's name is derived from the Greek word "chelone," meaning turtle, due to the shape of its leaves, which resemble the shells of turtles. The botanical illustration captures the plant's delicate features with remarkable accuracy, from the veining on its leaves to the intricate details of its flowers. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Lyons Chelone to life in a way that a black-and-white illustration could not. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and publishers of the time, who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the natural world for future generations. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom, and a reminder of the importance of conservation and appreciation of the natural world.
