EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored botanical illustration showcases the vibrant beauty of Plains Coreopsis, or Coreopsis tinctoria, also known as Calliopsis. The illustration was meticulously drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of William Clark, and published as part of Richard Morris's Flora Conspicua in London, 1826. The Plains Coreopsis is a native wildflower of the central and eastern United States, typically found in open grasslands and prairies. The plant is characterized by its bright orange-red to scarlet flowers, which bloom from late spring to early fall. The botanical illustration captures the intricate details of the Plains Coreopsis's petals, sepals, and stamen, providing a close-up view of its striking features. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the illustration, bringing the flower to life. The Plains Coreopsis holds historical significance as well. It was used by Native Americans for medicinal purposes, and its bright red dye was used to color cloth and textiles. The illustration serves as a testament to the importance of botanical exploration and documentation during the 19th century, as Europeans sought to document and understand the natural world of the New World. Today, the Plains Coreopsis remains a beloved garden flower, adding a burst of color and charm to any landscape. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and the enduring beauty of nature.
