Sally-my-handsome: A Vibrant Red-Edged Fig Marigold from South Africa, as Captured in an Exquisite Handcolored Copperplate Engraving This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Sally-my-handsome, or Carpobrotus acinaciformis, a mesembranthemum rubrocinctum that hails from the rich and diverse flora of South Africa. The botanical illustration, created in 1835 by the skilled hand of Sydenham Edwards for The Botanical Register published by Ridgway in London, invites us to appreciate the intricate details of this red-edged fig marigold. The engraving reveals the plant's succulent, fleshy leaves, which are arranged in a rosette formation and have a distinctively wavy edge. The vibrant red edges of the leaves contrast beautifully with their green centers, creating a striking visual effect. In the center of the rosette, we can see the plant's small, yellow flowers, which are surrounded by a red calyx. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and richness to the engraving, bringing the Sally-my-handsome to life and highlighting its unique characteristics. The use of copperplate engraving, a technique that was popular during the 19th century for producing detailed and accurate botanical illustrations, ensures the intricacy and precision of the image. This historical botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world but also offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the botanical explorations and discoveries of the 19th century. The Sally-my-handsome, with its vibrant red edges and captivating appearance, continues to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the rich heritage of botanical art and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations.
