EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Stenomesson miniatum, also known as the Vermilion-coloured Pentlandia or Miniature Amaryllis. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by G. Barclay, based on the original observation and documentation by W.B. Booth. The illustration is a stunning addition to John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, published by G. Willis in London in 1854. The Stenomesson miniatum is a rare and beautiful plant, native to South America. Its vibrant, vermilion-coloured bells hang gracefully from the stem, adding a burst of rich colour to any garden or greenhouse. The delicate petals surround a central column of golden stamens, creating a striking contrast. The intricate details of the Stenomesson miniatum's flowers are expertly captured in this illustration, with each petal and vein rendered in precise detail. The background features a lush, green foliage, adding to the overall beauty and realism of the image. This botanical illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the botanists of the time. It provides a valuable record of this rare and beautiful plant, and serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The Stenomesson miniatum remains a sought-after plant among collectors and horticulturists today, and this illustration continues to be a cherished piece of botanical art.
