EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a white blossomed mahogany tree, known scientifically as Swietenia mahogani. The image is a handcolored copperplate engraving from a botanical illustration by the talented James Sowerby, featured in William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's renowned book "Medical Botany" published in 1832. James Sowerby was an incredibly prolific artist who dedicated his life to capturing the beauty of nature. He drew over 2,500 plants for Smith's monumental work "English Botany" and contributed 440 illustrations of mushrooms for "Coloured Figures of English Fungi". This particular illustration highlights the exquisite details of the white blossoms against the backdrop of lush green leaves. The mahogany tree itself is revered for its hardwood, making it highly sought after for furniture and other wood-based products.
