EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Hoop-petticoat Daffodil, Narcissus bulbocodium, also known as the Slender-leaved Hoop-petticoat Daffodil or Corbularia tenuifolia. The intricate detail of the illustration, produced by A. Bailey after Edwin Dalton Smith, was created for John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, published in London in 1854. The Hoop-petticoat Daffodil is a rare and unique daffodil species, distinguished by its delicate, slender leaves that encircle the flower in a hoop-like fashion, giving it the common name 'hoop petticoat'. The daffodil blooms display a vibrant yellow color with a subtle orange tinge at the center, adding to their allure. The botanical illustration provides an accurate representation of the plant's appearance, highlighting its intricate details and subtle variations. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and dimension to the engraving, making the Hoop-petticoat Daffodil appear even more captivating. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical community during the Victorian era, who sought to document and preserve the natural world through precise and beautiful illustrations. The Hoop-petticoat Daffodil remains a rare and sought-after plant today, and this illustration serves as a reminder of its historical significance and enduring beauty.
