EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Double Red Azalea India, Azalea sinensis. The image is a faithful representation of the original illustration by Miss Sarah Drake, skillfully engraved by George Barclay for the Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London in 1842. The Double Red Azalea India is a stunning cultivar of the Azalea sinensis species, native to China and Japan. Its vibrant, double-layered red blooms are a feast for the eyes, adorning the shrub in a riot of color during the spring season. The delicate petals, intricately detailed in this engraving, reveal the artist's mastery of the medium. Miss Sarah Drake, the talented female artist and illustrator, captured the essence of the Double Red Azalea India with remarkable precision and finesse. Her keen observation and artistic sensibility are evident in the lifelike rendering of the flower, its lush green foliage, and the subtle textures of the petals. George Barclay, the skilled engraver, brought Miss Drake's illustration to life through the meticulous process of copperplate engraving. The intricate lines and shading in the engraving faithfully reproduce the original artwork, creating a visually stunning and enduring representation of the Double Red Azalea India. John Lindley, the esteemed editor of the Edwards Botanical Register, curated and published this beautiful work, showcasing the finest botanical illustrations of the time. This Double Red Azalea India print is a testament to the collective talents of these remarkable individuals and their dedication to documenting the natural world.
