National Museum Cardiff by Jeremy Segrott Via Flickr: With the Rugby World Cup match between Wales and Fiji taking place in Cardiff, many of the streets in the city centre were closed this afternoon. The road in front of the National Museum Cardiff (www.museumwales.ac.uk/cardiff/) was one of these roads, and the absence of cars meant there was a bit more space to try and get this view. The National #Museum is one of my favourite buildings in Cardiff, and inside it always has a rather calm feel, as well, of course, as many interesting exhibits and pieces of art work.

Arum maculatum (Lords and Ladies) from Flora Londinensis (1777-1787) published by William Curtis. Hand-coloured engraving: 46cm x 31.5cm. Flora Londinensis included all wild flowers growing within a ten mile radius of London, which was then surrounded by fields and undrained marshland. The hand-coloured illustrations are exceptionally delicate and precise so it is surprising that it failed to attract many subscribers. After ten years, Curtis had to admit financial defeat and in 1787, he produced the smaller Botanical Magazine, which is still in production today, over 200 years later. Further information can be seen on Rhagor, the collections based website from Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. Arum maculatum (Pidyn y Gog) o Flora Londinensis (1777-1787) a gyhoeddwyd gan William Curtis. Roedd Flora Londinensis yn cynnwys yr holl flodau gwyllt a dyfai o fewn deng milltir i Lundain, a oedd bryd hynny wedi’i amgylchynu gan gaeau a thir corsiog heb ei ddraenio. Mae’r darluniau a liwiwyd gyda llaw yn arbennig o gain a manwl, felly mae’n syndod na lwyddodd i ddenu nifer o danysgrifwyr. Ar ôl deng mlynedd, roedd yn rhaid i Curtis dderbyn methiant ariannol ac ym 1787, cynhyrchodd y Botanical Magazine llai, sydd yn parhau i gael ei gyhoeddi heddiw, dros 200 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach.

Ehret magnolia by MuseumWales on Flickr.

The mid-17th to mid-18th centuries saw the Golden Age of scientific illustration. In this age of curiosity, exploration, and experiment, the artist complimented the scientific process. Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770) was one of the most talented artists of this era. This image shows a Magnolia from Ehret's Plantae Selectae of 1772. Magnolias were a favourite of Ehret and he was said to have taken a daily walk to watch the progress of Magnolia grandiflora. Hand-coloured engraving:50cm x 35cm Further information can be seen on Rhagor, the collections based website from Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. Rhwng canol yr ail ganrif ar bymtheg a chanol y deunawfed ganrif gwelwyd Oes Aur darluniau gwyddonol. Yn yr oes hon o gywreinrwydd, archwilio ac arbrofi, roedd yr artist yn ategu'r broses wyddonol. Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770) oedd un o artistiaid mwyaf talentog y cyfnod hwn. Mae'r ddelwedd hon yn dangos Magnolia o Plantae Selectae Ehret ym 1772. Roedd Magnolias yn ffefryn i Ehret a dywedwyd ei fod yn mynd am dro yn ddyddiol i weld cynnydd y Magnolia grandiflora.

victoria regia waterlilly by MuseumWales on Flickr.

victoria regia waterlilly Victoria regia, a water-lily named in honour of Queen Victoria, was discovered in South America in 1837, the year of her accession to the throne. It was later named Victoria amazonica. The leaves were an astonishing 2 metres across. The daughter of Joseph Paxton, Head Gardner at Chatsworth where the water-lily first flowered in Britain, managed to stand on one leaf without it sinking. The structure of the plant inspired Joseph Paxton's design for the Crystal Palace, built to house the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851. This highly detailed lithograph from the folio book Victoria regia 1854 by Walter Hood Fitch, illustrates the intricate structure of different parts of the plant. Further information and images Victoria regia, lili'r dŵr a enwyd er anrhydedd y Frenhines Fictoria, ac a ddarganfuwyd yn Ne America ym 1837, blwyddyn ei hesgyniad i'r orsedd. Roedd y dail yn 2 fetr syfrdanol o led. Llwyddodd merch Joseph Paxton, Prif Arddwr Chatsworth, lle blodeuodd y lili'r dŵr cyntaf ym Mhrydain, i sefyll ar un ddeilen heb iddi suddo. Ysbrydolodd strwythur y planhigyn gynllun Joseph Paxton ar gyfer Crystal Palace, a adeiladwyd i gynnal y Great Exhibition yn Hyde Park ym 1851. Daw'r lithograff manwl iawn hwn o'r llyfr ffolio Victoria regia 1854 gan Walter Hood Fitch, ac mae'n darlunio strwythur cywrain gwahanol rannau o'r planhigyn.
