EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the New York Aster, Symphyotrichum dumosum, also known as Coris-leaved starwort or Aster coridifolius. The illustration, created by the talented Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by S. Watts, was originally published in the esteemed Botanical Register by Sydenham Edwards in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The New York Aster is a native wildflower that can be found in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. It is characterized by its dense, dome-shaped clusters of small, white to pinkish-purple flowers, which bloom from late summer to early fall. The plant's leaves are deeply lobed and toothed, giving it the common name "coris-leaved." The intricate details of the New York Aster's delicate petals and veined leaves are expertly captured in this stunning engraving. The use of hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a true work of art. The New York Aster was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, and this beautiful illustration would have been a prized possession for any botanical enthusiast of the time. Today, the New York Aster remains an important part of North American flora, and its charming blooms continue to inspire artists and gardeners alike. This engraving is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the skill of those who sought to capture it for future generations to appreciate.
