EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Fraser Magnolia, Magnolia fraseri var. pyramidata, also known as Magnolia pyramidata. The image is a beautiful representation of this majestic tree, native to the southeastern United States. The engraving was created by George Cooke, based on the original watercolour painting by Thomas Shotter Boys for Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, in 1825. The Fraser Magnolia is a large, evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 meters tall. It is characterized by its distinctive pyramid shape and large, glossy, leathery leaves. The tree is named after John Fraser, a Scottish botanist who first described it in 1803. The engraving captures the intricate details of the Fraser Magnolia's foliage, bark, and flowers. The tree's large, white, fragrant flowers bloom in late winter or early spring, adding a burst of beauty to the landscape during a time when other plants are still dormant. The flowers are a favorite among bees and other pollinators, making the Fraser Magnolia an important source of nectar and pollen. The Fraser Magnolia is not only a beautiful tree, but it also holds cultural significance. It is the state tree of both Louisiana and Florida, and its wood was once used by the indigenous peoples of the southeastern United States for making canoes and other tools. Today, the Fraser Magnolia is a popular ornamental tree, prized for its elegant shape and stunning flowers. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the beauty and significance of the Fraser Magnolia. It is a valuable addition to any botanical collection and a reminder of the rich natural history of the southeastern United States.
