EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the mourning-flowered aristea, Aristea lugens, also known as Aristea melaleuca. The image was created by skilled engraver F. Sansom Jr., based on an original illustration by Sydenham Edwards. The engraving was published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine, edited by William Curtis, in London in 1810. The mourning-flowered aristea is a beautiful and delicate perennial plant native to South Africa. It is characterized by its tall, slender stems and elegant, white, funnel-shaped flowers with a distinctive purple tinge at the base. The flowers bloom in late spring and summer, and their mournful appearance has earned them the common name "mourning flowers." The intricate details of the plant's veins, petals, and stamens are expertly rendered in this engraving, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the engraver and the illustrator. The muted colors of the handcolouring add depth and texture to the image, bringing the mourning-flowered aristea to life. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, and a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations played in documenting and preserving plant species during the 19th century. It is a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art or garden-themed decor.
