EDITORS COMMENTS
Angels' Tears: A Delicate and Enchanting Botanical Illustration of the Angels Tears Daffodil, Narcissus triandrus (also known as Narcissus pulchellus and Narcissus triandrus 'White-cupped Ganymede') This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Angels' Tears,' showcases the ethereal beauty of the Angels Tears Daffodil, a rare and captivating variety of Narcissus triandrus. The illustration, created by Edwin Dalton Smith and engraved by Weddell, is taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, published by G. Willis in London in 1854. The Angels Tears Daffodil is characterized by its unique, tear-shaped white flowers with a delicate yellow center, which resemble tears falling from the sky. This botanical illustration masterfully captures the delicate intricacies of the flower, from the delicate folds of the petals to the intricate veining of the leaves. The Angels Tears Daffodil was a popular subject for botanical illustrators and collectors during the Victorian era due to its rarity and striking appearance. This beautiful illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical community during this period, who sought to document and preserve the natural world in all its splendor. The handcolouring technique used in this illustration adds an extra layer of depth and beauty, bringing the Angels Tears Daffodil to life in a way that a engraving could not. The delicate shading and colouring enhance the intricacies of the flower, making it a true work of art. This botanical illustration is not only a beautiful addition to any garden or nature-themed decor, but it also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world around us. The Angels Tears Daffodil may be a rare and delicate bloom, but its beauty and allure continue to inspire and captivate us to this day.
