EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases two stunning varieties of Japanese lilies, Lilium specioseum, from the botanical illustration by Miss Charlotte Caroline Sowerby, as featured in Edward Henderson and Andrew Henderson's The Illustrated Bouquet, published in London in 1857. The first variety, Lilium specioseum Atrococcineum 1, boasts vibrant pink petals with intricate veining and a striking, dark center. The second, Lilium specioseum Album 2, presents a pristine white bloom with elegant, ruffled edges. The Japanese lily, also known as the Ryujin lily, is a symbol of elegance and refinement in Japanese culture. These lilies are native to Japan and are highly valued for their beautiful flowers and fragrant scent. The intricate details of the petals and stamens are expertly captured in this engraving, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of botanical illustrations during the Victorian era. Accompanying the lilies in this illustration are two varieties of rhododendrons, Rhododendron aureum and Rhododendron magniflorum. The golden rhododendron, Rhododendron aureum, displays bright yellow blooms with a hint of orange, while the magnolia rhododendron, Rhododendron magniflorum, boasts large, showy, white flowers. These rhododendrons add to the overall beauty and diversity of the botanical display. The Illustrated Bouquet was a popular publication during the Victorian era, showcasing new and exotic flowers in intricate detail. This engraving is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of botany and horticulture during the mid-19th century.
