EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of the Heart-leaved protea, Protea cordifolia, with its large pink and green flowers and crimson-edged foliage. The illustration was originally created by Henrietta Moriarty for her book "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" in 1807, a re-issue of her own work "Viridarium" from 1806.
Henrietta Moriarty was a remarkable woman - a colonel's widow who turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her four children. Her hand-colored copperplate engravings are not only beautiful works of art but also serve as important botanical guides.
The Heart-leaved protea is truly a sight to behold, with its vibrant colors and unique shape. This image serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
As we admire this exquisite artwork, let us also take a moment to appreciate the dedication and talent of female artists like Henrietta Moriarty who have made significant contributions to the world of botany and beyond. This print is not just a visual delight but also a tribute to the creativity and resilience of women throughout history.
