EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of Tephroseris integrifolia, also known as Orange-coloured Cineraria or Cineraria aurantiaca. The image was meticulously created by the skilled hands of Weddell, based on a drawing by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis. The engraving is a part of the continuation of William Curtis's Botanical Magazine, published in London in 1822. Tephroseris integrifolia is a herbaceous perennial native to South Africa. It is characterized by its rosette of large, glossy, green leaves, which are simple and entire, as indicated by its specific epithet "integrifolia." The plant's most notable feature, however, is its vibrant orange-colored inflorescences, which bloom in late winter and early spring. These flowers are composed of numerous tiny, tubular blossoms that form a dense, spherical head. The intricate details of the plant's veins, texture, and petals are expertly captured in this engraving, making it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection. The delicate shading and use of color further enhance the image's lifelike quality, allowing viewers to appreciate the true beauty of Tephroseris integrifolia. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past, who painstakingly documented the natural world for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
