EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Baeckea imbricata, a member of the Myrtaceae family. The image is a copperplate engraving on paper, created by Joseph Banks during his exploration in Australia between 1771 and 1784. Measuring 46x31 cm, this historical piece is part of Banks' Florilegium collection. The delicate lines and intricate details of this botanical illustration are truly remarkable. It was skillfully engraved by Gerald Sibelius after Sydney Parkinson's original artwork from 1770, with additional contributions by Frederick Polydore Nodder. The vibrant colors bring the plant to life, capturing its essence in a way that only art can achieve. Banks encountered Baeckea imbricata at various locations during his expedition, including Point Lookout, Botany Bay, and Endeavour River in Australia. This print serves as both a testament to Banks' scientific endeavors and an artistic representation of Australian flora. Alecto Historical Editions in London has preserved this masterpiece for generations to appreciate.
