EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a collection of Pompone Chrysanthemums, drawn and zincographed by the talented botanical artist C.T. Rosenberg for Thomas Moore's "The Garden Companion and Florist's Guide," published in 1852. Moore, who was the curator of the Botanic Garden, Chelsea, from 1847 until his death, collaborated with renowned botanical artists and publishers of the time, including C.T. Rosenberg, W.J. Hooker, and Charles Frederick Cheffins. The Pompone Chrysanthemums depicted in this print include the varieties Asmodie, Perfecta, La Pygmee, Modele, and Sacramento. The Asmodie Pompone Chrysanthemum boasts crimson blooms, while the Perfecta boasts purple hues. The Pygmee Pompone Chrysanthemum is a small, white variety, and the Modele Pompone Chrysanthemum displays yellow blooms. The Sacramento Pompone Chrysanthemum, with its large, golden-yellow flowers, is a particularly striking addition to the collection. This print is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the mid-19th century, a time when botanical illustration was at its peak. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these beautiful Chrysanthemum varieties to life, allowing us to appreciate their unique characteristics and beauty over 160 years later. C.T. Rosenberg's work for "The Garden Companion and Florist's Guide" is just one example of his many botanical illustrations. He also drew and engraved for Moore's "The Gardeners Magazine of Botany" and W.J. Hooker's "Curtis's Botanical Magazine." These publications were essential resources for gardeners and horticulturists of the time, providing accurate and detailed information about the cultivation and identification of various plant species. This print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of botanical illustration during the Victorian era and showcasing the timeless beauty of the Pompone Chrysanthemums.
