EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Woolly Various-Coloured Lupine, Lupinus tomentosus. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edward Dalton Smith and beautifully rendered in engraving by Weddell for Robert Sweet's seminal work, "The British Flower Garden," published in Ridgeway, London, in 1828. Lupinus tomentosus, also known as the Woolly Lupine, is a charming leguminous plant native to the Mediterranean region. Its unique allure lies in its velvety, felted appearance, with woolly hairs covering its stems, leaves, and flowers. The plant boasts vibrant, various-coloured blooms, which range from pink to purple and white, adding a splash of captivating color to any garden. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the intricacies of 19th-century botanical illustration but also highlights the timeless appeal of the Woolly Various-Coloured Lupine. Its inclusion in "The British Flower Garden" underscores the importance of botanical exploration and documentation during this era, when the study of plants was a source of great fascination and scientific discovery. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate veining on the leaves to the textured representation of the woolly hairs, showcase the skill and dedication of the botanical artists and engravers of the time. This image invites us to appreciate the natural world and the beauty that can be found in even the smallest of details.
