EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving, titled "Crimson Amaryllis and Dwarf Morning Glory," is a captivating illustration from Le Jardinier Fleuriste, a gift book for ladies published in Paris in 1818. The engraving showcases two beloved blooms of the time: the crimson amaryllis (Hippeastrum) and the dwarf morning glory (Convolvulus tricolor). The crimson amaryllis, with its vibrant, velvety red hue and elegant, tubular shape, was a popular choice for Victorian-era gardens and bouquets. Its large, showy flowers were admired for their beauty and symbolized pride, strength, and everlasting love. The dwarf morning glory, on the other hand, was cherished for its delicate, tricolor blooms and its ability to thrive in various conditions. Its vines, adorned with these beautiful, blue, white, and pink flowers, were often used to create intricate garlands and decorative arrangements. This enchanting image, created in the style of Pancrace Bessa, perfectly encapsulates the elegance and charm of the botanical world during the early 19th century. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, making it a true work of art. Le Jardinier Fleuriste, or The Florist Gardener, was a popular gift book for ladies, filled with miniature botanical bouquets. These charming illustrations were meant to inspire and delight, offering a glimpse into the world of horticulture and the beauty of nature. This particular engraving, with its captivating crimson amaryllis and dwarf morning glory, is a testament to the enduring appeal of these two enchanting flowers.
