EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Dark-flowered Bellflower, Campanula pulla. The intricate detailing of the image, created by Weddell after Edwin Dalton Smith, is a testament to the meticulous botanical illustration techniques of the mid-19th century. Campanula pulla, also known as the Bluebell of Scotland or the Dark-leaved Harebell, is a rare and striking variety of bellflower native to the Scottish Highlands. Its dark purple-blue flowers bloom in late spring and summer, contrasting elegantly against the deep green, almost black, foliage. The bell-shaped flowers hang gracefully in clusters, adding an ethereal charm to any garden or natural setting. This illustration is taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, published by G. Willis in London in 1854. Lindley, a renowned botanist and horticulturist, and Sweet, a prominent nurseryman, collaborated on this comprehensive work, which aimed to provide accurate and detailed botanical illustrations of a wide range of ornamental plants. The Dark-flowered Bellflower, Campanula pulla, is just one of the many exquisite specimens featured in this remarkable publication. This engraving not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as an invaluable record of botanical knowledge from a bygone era.
