EDITORS COMMENTS
Brittle Aster, Aster fragilis: A Delicate Beauty from the Botanical Register This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the Brittle Aster, Aster fragilis, a delicate and enchanting flower that once graced the pages of the esteemed Botanical Register published by Sydenham Edwards in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The illustration was meticulously produced by Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by S. Watts, capturing the essence and intricacies of this aster. The Brittle Aster, also known as the Fragile Aster, is a native wildflower of North America, particularly in the eastern United States and southern Canada. It is characterized by its slender, brittle stems and small, white, pink, or purple flowers that bloom from late summer to early fall. The plant typically grows in open woodlands, meadows, and prairies, thriving in rich, moist soils. The Brittle Aster's delicate beauty is further emphasized in this stunning engraving, with its intricate veining and lifelike details that bring the flower to life. The delicate petals, gracefully arranged around the central disc, are depicted in soft hues, while the veins and stems are meticulously etched, revealing the intricacies of the plant's structure. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who painstakingly documented the natural world for posterity. The Brittle Aster, Aster fragilis, remains a beloved and cherished flower, gracing gardens and meadows with its ethereal beauty and resilience.
