EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Sharp-pointed Lobelia, scientifically known as Lobelia mucronata, or alternatively, Lobelia cardinalis. The illustration was meticulously drawn by the renowned botanical artist, William Jackson Hooker, and masterfully engraved by Swan for publication in The Botanical Magazine, edited by Samuel Curtis, in 1833. The Sharp-pointed Lobelia is a native plant of South America, particularly in the Andes region. Its vibrant, tubular flowers come in a rich, red-crimson hue, earning it alternative names such as Cardinal Lobelia or Scarlet Lobelia. The plants grow as tall as 30 inches and are adorned with pointed, lanceolate leaves, as depicted in this illustration. The history of this plant's discovery and documentation is an intriguing one. The Sharp-pointed Lobelia was first brought to Europe in the late 18th century by the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus, who described it in his Species Plantarum in 1753. However, it was Hooker's meticulous and accurate illustration, combined with Swan's expert engraving, that truly captured the essence of this plant and brought it to the attention of botanists and horticulturists around the world. This historical artwork not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, but also to the skill and dedication of the botanical artists and illustrators of the past. The intricate details of the Sharp-pointed Lobelia's flowers, leaves, and stems are rendered with remarkable precision, making this a true masterpiece of botanical art.
