EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the vibrant and captivating Sphaeralcea miniata, commonly known as Globemallow or Vermilion-flowered mallow. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edwin Dalton Smith under the direction of renowned botanists John Lindley and Robert Sweet, and beautifully engraved by Frederick Weddell. The image is taken from their seminal work, "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," published by G. Willis in London in 1854. The Globemallow is a native North American plant, distinguished by its distinctive, spherical, velvety-red flowers. The engraving captures the intricate details of the plant's structure, from the lobed, serrated leaves to the delicate veins on the petals. The rich, vibrant colors bring the flower to life, showcasing its stunning beauty and allure. The illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical artists, engravers, and publishers of the time, who dedicated themselves to accurately recording and preserving the natural world for future generations. This image of the Globemallow serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world and the beauty that can be found in even the smallest of details.
