EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored illustration depicts the Yellow-flowered Calceolaria corymbosa from Chile, as captured in the 19th century by Scottish botanist and gardener Charles McIntosh and his collaborators, botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and engraver Watts. The illustration is taken from McIntosh's horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. McIntosh, a renowned figure in European horticulture, had a distinguished career as a gardener for aristocracy and royalty. His extensive knowledge and expertise in botany led him to author numerous books on gardening and botanical illustration. Botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith was one of the many talented artists who worked with McIntosh on his publications. Smith's intricate and detailed drawings of various plant species were highly regarded for their accuracy and beauty. In this illustration, Smith expertly captures the vibrant yellow blooms of the Calceolaria corymbosa, a native plant from Chile. The engraving was executed by Watts, whose skillful technique brings the illustration to life with rich textures and shading. The resulting image is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. The Calceolaria corymbosa, also known as the "Slipper Orchid Tree," is a shrub that produces yellow, orchid-like flowers in dense clusters. The plant's unique appearance and exotic origin made it a prized addition to European gardens during the 19th century. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation, showcasing the exquisite detail and artistry of the time.
