EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of a Gentiana sp. (Purple Gentian), a flowering plant belonging to the Gentianaceae family, in the Victorian era. Created by the skilled hand of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn in 1829, this illustration is a captivating testament to the intricate details and vibrant colors of the natural world during the 19th century. As an eudicot, angiosperm, and member of the Magnoliophyta division, the Purple Gentian is a flowering plant with two seed leaves, or cotyledons, at germination. The plant is classified under the order Gentianales and the subclass Asterid. The illustration reveals the delicate pink hue of the Gentiana's bell-shaped flowers, which bloom in late summer, and the distinctive veining on the leaves. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a talented botanical artist whose work graced numerous publications during her career, which spanned from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of her subjects have left an indelible mark on the history of botanical illustration. This illustration of the Purple Gentian not only serves as a stunning example of Victorian-era botanical art, but also as a reminder of the enduring beauty and importance of the natural world. The intricate details of the illustration invite the viewer to explore the delicate structures of the flower and appreciate the artistry of the artist. The Natural History Museum in London is proud to hold this beautiful and historic illustration in its collection, preserving it for future generations to marvel at and learn from.
