EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the American Strawberry Bush, Euonymus americanus, a native shrub hailing from North America. The intricate detail in this illustration, created by the skilled hand of George Cooke for Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, England, in 1828, highlights the unique features of this plant. The American Strawberry Bush derives its name from the small, red berries it produces, which resemble the fruit of the common strawberry. However, unlike its namesake, these berries are not edible and are instead favored by birds and other wildlife. The shrub itself can grow up to 6 feet tall and features glossy, green leaves that turn red or purple in the fall. The Euonymus Americanus is a versatile plant, thriving in various climates and soil types. It was widely used in horticulture during the 19th century for landscaping and as a hedge plant. The engraving captures the beauty and elegance of this shrub, with its delicate branches adorned with small, white flowers that bloom in the late spring and early summer. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques bring the American Strawberry Bush to life, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection or garden enthusiast's library. The engraving also provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation.
