EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Manyflower Currant, Ribes multiflorum, a hermaphrodite shrub belonging to the gooseberry family, Grossulariaceae. The engraving is a masterpiece from George Cooke's portfolio, created for Conrad Loddiges' Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, published in 1828. Ribes multiflorum is native to North America, specifically the western United States and Canada. It is characterized by its dense, rounded shrub growth, which can reach up to 3 meters in height. The Manyflower Currant is renowned for its profuse, showy white to pinkish-white flowers that bloom in early spring, covering the shrub in a beautiful display. The flowers give way to edible, red to black berries, which ripen in late spring to early summer. The Manyflower Currant is an important food source for various wildlife, including birds and mammals. Its attractive foliage and abundant flowers make it an excellent ornamental plant for gardens. The shrub is also known for its medicinal properties, with traditional uses including the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery. This illustration not only showcases the beauty of Ribes multiflorum but also serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of George Cooke and the botanical community of the early 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Manyflower Currant to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique characteristics and charm.
