This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Smelly Wallflower, Erysimum odoratum, also known as Sweet-scented Alpine Hedge Mustard or Erysium lanceolatum minus. The intricate detail of the flower is masterfully captured in this botanical illustration, produced by the skilled hand of John Curtis and expertly engraved by Weddell for the esteemed Botanical Magazine, published by Samuel Curtis in London in 1823. The Smelly Wallflower is a charming perennial herb, native to the Mediterranean and Central Europe. Its delicate, fragrant blooms display an array of vibrant colors, ranging from deep red to pale pink, with a sweet, pleasant scent that has long been admired. The plant's lanceolate leaves are narrow and pointed, adding to its elegant appearance. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the dedication and passion of the botanical community during the 19th century, who sought to document and preserve the natural world through meticulous observation and artistic expression. The Smelly Wallflower remains a beloved plant among gardeners and nature enthusiasts, continuing to captivate us with its allure and sweet perfume.
