EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Double-flowered Fine-leaved Peony, Paeonia tenuifolia var. plena. Originally published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854, this botanical illustration captures the intricate details of this rare and delicate peony variety. The Double-flowered Fine-leaved Peony is a charming cultivar, characterized by its double rows of petals, each layer revealing a new layer of delicate pink blossoms. The fine, narrow leaves add to the plant's refined appearance, creating a striking contrast against the full, velvety blooms. The meticulous process of creating this engraving involved the collaboration of skilled artists and craftsmen. The original specimen was carefully studied and drawn, then transferred to a copper plate, which was etched with great precision using a burin. The plate was then hand-colored using watercolors or pigments, resulting in a vibrant and lifelike representation of the peony. This botanical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich horticultural history of the 19th century, showcasing the dedication and artistry of the botanists, illustrators, and engravers of the time. The Double-flowered Fine-leaved Peony remains a cherished and rare find in gardens today, a testament to the enduring allure of these beautiful flowers.
