EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of a Single-flowered Tulip, Tulipa uniflora, also known as the Single-flowered Orithyia or Orithyia uniflora. The image, created by the skilled hands of Frederick W. Smith, was based on an original drawing by J. Hart. It was published as part of John Lindley and Robert Sweet's comprehensive work, "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," released in London by G. Willis in 1854. The Single-flowered Tulip is a rare and captivating variety, with its vibrant, solitary bloom standing proud against a backdrop of lush, verdant foliage. The delicate petals, intricately detailed in this engraving, unfurl in a rich, velvety red hue, framed by a golden base and a darker red line, adding depth and dimension to the flower. The stem, adorned with a few simple leaves, provides a perfect contrast to the intricately patterned bloom. This botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the Victorian era's botanical art. The handcolouring process, which involved the application of watercolour paints to the engraving, further enhanced the image's lifelike quality and vibrancy. The result is a stunning, timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers over a century and a half after its creation.
