1852 Acacia Armeria Companion Florists Flowered Guide Mimosa Moore Rosenberg Stylidium Zincograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical print, published in Thomas Moore's The Garden Companion and Florist's Guide in 1852, showcases two stunningly beautiful plants: the pink-flowered Stylidium armeria and the yellow-flowered Acacia undulaefolia, or mimosa. The illustration was drawn and zincographed by the renowned botanical artist and engraver, C.T. Rosenberg. At the time, Rosenberg was a prolific contributor to various botanical publications, including Moore's Gardeners Magazine of Botany and William J. Hooker's Curtis's Botanical Magazine. His intricate and detailed illustrations were highly regarded for their accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The pink-flowered Stylidium armeria, also known as triggerplants, is a native Australian species that is characterized by its unique, tubular flowers. The flowers are arranged in clusters on long, slender stems and are triggered to open when touched, revealing their nectar-filled interior to pollinators. The yellow-flowered Acacia undulaefolia, or mimosa, is a small tree native to Australia and New Guinea. It is known for its delicate, feathery foliage and fragrant, yellow pea-like flowers. The tree is also commonly referred to as the "tickle-me-tree" due to its sensitivity to touch, causing its leaves to fold up in response. This beautiful and intricately detailed print provides a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the mid-19th century, showcasing the stunning diversity of the plant world and the skill of the artists and engravers who captured it for posterity.
