EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Crinkle bush, or Lomatia silaifolia, also known as the sulphur-wort-leaved lomatia. The intricate details of the plant's foliage and delicate flowers are masterfully captured in this illustration, which was produced by the skilled hands of engraver F. Sansom Jr., working from an original drawing by Sydenham Edwards. The Crinkle bush is an endemic plant native to Western Australia, where it can be found growing in the understory of eucalyptus forests. Its common name derives from the unique texture of its leaves, which have a crinkled or wavy appearance that adds to their charm. The plant's foliage is a vibrant green, with each leaf possessing a distinct, lobed shape. The Crinkle bush is a member of the Lomatia genus, which is characterized by its fern-like leaves and small, tubular flowers that bloom in clusters. The flowers of Lomatia silaifolia are typically a bright yellow color, adding a splash of vibrancy to the otherwise green foliage. This beautiful engraving was published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine, which was founded by William Curtis in 1787 and remains one of the oldest and most respected botanical publications in the world. The magazine was known for its high-quality illustrations, which were produced using the latest techniques in botanical art and printing. Today, the Crinkle bush is a beloved plant among gardeners and horticulturists, who appreciate its unique beauty and ability to thrive in a range of conditions. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the artistry of those who seek to capture its essence.
