EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Shooting stars, Hoya multiflora (Abundant flowering Cyrtoceras, Cyrtoceras floribundum)," is a stunning botanical representation of two related plant species: Hoya multiflora and Cyrtoceras floribundum. The engraving, created by S. Nevitt based on a botanical illustration by Miss Jane Taylor, was published in Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's renowned botanical publication, "The Botanist," in London in 1836. The image showcases the alluring beauty of these plants, with their star-shaped flowers resembling the twinkling lights of the night sky, hence the common name "shooting stars." The intricate details of the flowers, leaves, and stems are expertly captured in the engraving, providing a close-up view of their unique features. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. The Victorian-era botanical illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of these plants but also serves as a testament to the meticulous work of the skilled botanical artist, Miss Jane Taylor, and the engraver, S. Nevitt. The publication of "The Botanist" during this time represented a significant contribution to the scientific community, as it aimed to document and preserve the world's diverse flora for future generations. This image of the shooting stars, Hoya multiflora and Cyrtoceras floribundum, is a must-have for any botanical art collection, garden enthusiast, or anyone with an appreciation for the intricacies of nature.
