EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of China Pink, scientifically known as Dianthus chinensis, also referred to as Fischer's Pink or Dianthus fischeri. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edward Dalton Smith and beautifully rendered in engraving by Weddell for Robert Sweet's renowned publication, "The British Flower Garden," published in Ridgeway, London, in 1828. The China Pink is a beloved hardy perennial, native to China and the Himalayas, and is celebrated for its vibrant pink blooms adorned with distinctive white edges. The delicate petals, with their ruffled edges and sweet fragrance, have captivated gardeners and botanists for centuries. The plant's slender stems bear the flowers in clusters, creating a stunning display that adds charm and allure to any garden. The intricate details of the China Pink's petals, leaves, and stems are expertly captured in this engraving, providing a testament to the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrator and engraver. The hand-coloring further enhances the engraving, bringing the China Pink to life with its vivid pink hues and contrasting white edges. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the enduring appeal of the China Pink, a beloved flower that continues to enchant and inspire gardeners and artists alike.
