Anemone palmataWest mediterranean anemone with yellow flowers. A native of Portugal; Spain; Provence and Barbary.Illustration by George Loddiges.Conrad Loddiges and Sons published an illustrated catalogue of the nursery's plants entitled the Botanical Cabinet. The monthly magazine featured 10 hand-coloured illustrations and ran from 1817 to 1833 to total 2;000 plates. The publication introduced many exquisite camellias from China; exotic orchids and lilies from the New World; and about 100 varieties of heaths from South Africa; which were currently in vogue. (The Victorian era saw a series of manias for flowers - from roses and camellias to heaths; ferns and orchids.)Most of the plates were drawn by the author George Loddiges and local engraver George Cooke (1781~1834). The others were drawn by Loddiges' daughter Jane and his brother William; Cooke's brother William and his son Edward (who became a leading Victorian artist); apprentice engravers T. Boys and William Miller (who later became principal engraver to the artist J.M.W. Turner) and Miss Rebello. All the plates were engraved on copper by George Cooke.Book: Volume 6Book History: 1820Author: Conrad LoddigesDimensions: 16.5 x 20.5cm
