EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the vibrant and captivating beauty of the Yellow-flowered Chinese Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum indicum. The illustration is taken from Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, was a prolific author and horticulturist whose works were highly regarded in the 19th century. The illustration was produced by the skilled botanical artist, Edwin Dalton Smith, who was known for his intricate and detailed drawings. Smith's illustrations were often engraved by Watts, as seen in this piece, to ensure the highest quality and accuracy in the final product. The Yellow-flowered Chinese Chrysanthemum is a perennial plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to China and has been cultivated for its decorative flowers for over 2,000 years. The plant produces large, showy flowers that range in color from yellow to red, pink, and white. This particular illustration highlights the yellow-flowered variety, which boasts bright, sunny blooms with a rich, golden hue. The intricate details of the flower's petals, stamens, and pistils are expertly captured in the illustration, providing a stunning representation of the plant's beauty. The historical significance of this illustration lies in its connection to McIntosh and Smith, two influential figures in the world of horticulture during the 19th century. Their work helped to advance the study and cultivation of plants, and this illustration serves as a testament to their dedication and expertise.
