The intricate detail and vibrant colors captured in this engraving, created by Weddell after Edwin Dalton Smith, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the 19th century. The Crimson Jacobean Lily, also known as the Aztec Lily, is a native of Central America and is renowned for its distinctive, crimson-red flowers. The lily's large, bell-shaped blooms are adorned with a striking yellow center, making them a captivating sight in any garden or greenhouse. This botanical illustration is taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," published in London in 1854.

The intricate detail and beautiful coloring make this a work of art as much as a botanical illustration. Today, this engraving serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the importance of preserving and documenting it for future generations.
