EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving is a beautiful representation of the Golden Rhododendron, Rhododendron aureum magniflorum, as featured in Edward Henderson and Andrew Henderson's The Illustrated Bouquet, published in London in 1857 by C. Chabot. The image showcases a tree laden with golden blooms, each petal a radiant yellow hue, against a lush green backdrop. The intricate details of the flowers are captured perfectly, with their delicate veins and intricate patterns visible. The Golden Rhododendron, also known as the Golden Tree Rhododendron, is a hybrid variety that was popular during the Victorian era for its striking appearance. It is believed to be a cross between Rhododendron aureum and Rhododendron luteum. The tree is adorned with large, showy flowers that resemble a cross between a carnation and a dianthus, with ruffled petals and a sweet fragrance. The illustration is accompanied by a description of the flower, which notes its similarity to the varieties Ariadne, Beauty, Garibaldi, Perfection, Queen, and Whites and Yellows. The engraving was produced by James Andrews, a skilled artist known for his botanical illustrations. The female figure in the image, depicted holding a bouquet of flowers, adds a touch of elegance and beauty to the illustration. Overall, this engraving is a testament to the artistry and botanical knowledge of the time, and a reminder of the fascination with new and exotic flowers during the Victorian era.
