EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Bastard Sedum, or Sedum spurium, a charming and hardy succulent plant that has captivated horticulturists and garden enthusiasts for centuries. The engraving, created by Weddell after a botanical illustration by John Curtis, was first published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine in 1823 by Samuel Curtis in London. The Bastard Sedum is a low-growing plant, with fleshy, succulent leaves that form mats or mounds, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens or as ground cover. Its attractive, star-shaped pink or red flowers bloom in late spring or early summer, adding a burst of color to any garden setting. The intricate details of the Bastard Sedum's leaves and flowers are beautifully rendered in this engraving, showcasing the meticulous skill of the engraver and the botanical illustrator. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the plant to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique features up close. The Bastard Sedum has a rich history, with records of its cultivation dating back to the 16th century. Its hardiness and adaptability have made it a popular choice for gardens in various climates, and it continues to be a favorite among gardeners today. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the wonders of the plant kingdom for future generations to enjoy. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a stunning addition to any botanical collection or garden-themed decor.
