EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Didier's Tulip, scientifically known as Tulipa gesneriana or Tulipa pubescens. The engraving, created by G. Barclay after Edwin Dalton Smith, was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. The Didier's Tulip, also referred to as the Pubescent-stalked Tulip, is a charming perennial bulbous plant that belongs to the Liliaceae family. Its distinctive features include its vibrant red and yellow petals, which are adorned with intricate veining, and its pubescent, or hairy, stalk. The engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the plant, capturing its delicate form and intricate details. The background features a simple, yet elegant, design, allowing the Tulipa gesneriana to take centre stage. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Tulip to life. The Didier's Tulip was a popular ornamental plant during the Victorian era, and its inclusion in Lindley and Sweet's publication reflects its cultural significance during this time. The botanical illustration serves not only as a record of this beautiful plant but also as a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the publishers. Today, the Didier's Tulip remains a beloved plant, and this engraving serves as a reminder of its historical and aesthetic importance. Its intricate details and vibrant colours continue to captivate and inspire, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
