1820 Curtis Flesh Phlox Weddell Carnea
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Flesh-coloured Phlox, Phlox carnea," is a beautiful example of botanical illustration from the early 19th century. Drawn by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis and meticulously engraved by Weddell, this illustration was published in the prestigious Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1820. Phlox carnea, commonly known as Flesh-coloured Phlox or Creeping Phlox, is a low-growing perennial plant native to North America. The plant is characterized by its delicate, pinkish-white to flesh-colored flowers, which bloom in clusters from late spring to early summer. The illustration captures the intricate details of the plant's petals, veins, and stamen, providing a vivid and accurate representation of the Flesh-coloured Phlox. The hand-coloring technique used in this engraving adds an extra layer of beauty and realism to the illustration. Each petal and vein is carefully shaded and colored, bringing the flower to life and making it appear as if it could bloom at any moment. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1794, was one of the most influential botanical publications of its time. It was dedicated to the publication of accurate and detailed botanical illustrations, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and collectors. This Flesh-coloured Phlox illustration is a testament to the high-quality work produced by the magazine and its talented contributors. Today, this historical illustration remains an important piece of botanical art and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations played in the scientific exploration and documentation of plants during the 19th century.
