EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Canary Island Geranium, Geranium palmatum, also known as the Anemone-leaved Geranium or Geranium anemonefolium. The image, created by the skilled hand of engraver Sansom, was published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine of London in 1793, under the direction of William Curtis and Sydenham Edwards. The Canary Island Geranium is a native of the Canary Islands, boasting vibrant, velvety leaves that resemble those of anemones, hence its alternative names. The plant produces clusters of small, pink to purple flowers with distinctive white veining, adding a delightful contrast to the rich green foliage. This botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic prowess of the time. The intricate engraving technique, combined with the delicate application of hand-applied watercolors, brings the unique features of the Canary Island Geranium to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in intricate detail. As a valued addition to any botanical collection or garden enthusiast's library, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation. The Canary Island Geranium remains a popular choice for gardeners and plant enthusiasts today, and this stunning illustration serves as a reminder of its enduring charm and allure.
