EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Large Pink Sea Lavender, scientifically known as Goniolimon eximium, or Statice eximia. The image was created by the skilled hand of Miss Sarah Drake and beautifully rendered by George Barclay for the Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley, published in London by Ridgeway in 1847. The Large Pink Sea Lavender is a native plant of the Mediterranean region, with delicate pink flowers that bloom in dense clusters. It is also known as Statice eximia and is a popular ornamental plant for gardens due to its attractive appearance and hardiness. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving showcase the beauty and elegance of the flower in its prime. The female artist, Miss Sarah Drake, skillfully captured the delicate petals and intricate veining of the leaves, while George Barclay expertly translated her illustration into a finely detailed engraving. The Edwards Botanical Register, under the editorship of John Lindley, was a leading horticultural publication of the time, showcasing the latest botanical discoveries and advancements. This engraving is a testament to the high-quality illustrations and dedication to botanical accuracy that the publication was known for. The Large Pink Sea Lavender remains a beloved plant today, and this beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the artistry and scientific curiosity that drove botanical exploration in the 19th century.
