EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Scorched Oncidium Orchid, Oncidium sphacelatum. The intricate detail of the flower is captured perfectly in this stunning artwork, which was produced by George Barclay based on an illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake. The image was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, which was edited by the renowned botanist John Lindley in London during 1842. The Scorched Oncidium Orchid is an epiphyte, meaning it grows on other plants for support rather than in soil. Its unique appearance is characterized by its burnt-looking edges, which give it its name. The delicate petals are a vibrant yellow with red edges, and the labellum, or central lip, is a rich burgundy color. Miss Sarah Drake's artistic skill is evident in the delicate shading and precise detailing of the petals, veins, and other intricate features of the flower. George Barclay's masterful engraving technique brings the artwork to life, capturing the essence of the Scorched Oncidium Orchid in all its glory. This beautiful artwork is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who meticulously documented the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes. The Scorched Oncidium Orchid remains a captivating and enchanting specimen, and this exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving is a fitting tribute to its beauty and rarity.
