EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the beautiful Blue Leek, Allium caeruleum, a unique and captivating ornamental plant. The image, created by G. Barclay after a drawing by Miss Sarah Drake, was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery" in 1854 by G. Willis in London. The Blue Leek, also known as the Blue Globe Onion or Blue Sculpture Onion, is a bulbous perennial plant native to Central Europe and the Mediterranean. It is characterized by its distinctive, spherical, deep blue-violet globes that resemble leeks but are actually inflorescences. Each globe is composed of numerous small, star-shaped flowers, giving the plant an otherworldly appearance. The Blue Leek was highly prized in Victorian gardens for its ornamental value and was often grown in large pots or borders. Its unique beauty and rarity made it a sought-after addition to the gardens of the wealthy and discerning. This exquisite botanical illustration captures the Blue Leek in all its glory, with intricate detail and vibrant colours. The artist's skillful use of handcolouring brings out the rich hues of the Blue Leek's globes, making it a true work of art. The background, with its simple yet elegant design, allows the Blue Leek to take centre stage, showcasing its unique charm and allure. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the fascination with botanical exploration and the appreciation for the natural world during the Victorian era. It remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom and continues to inspire gardeners and artists alike.
