EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases Haemodorum coccineum, a vibrant and captivating plant species from the Haemodoraceae family. Created by Joseph Banks in the late 18th century, this copperplate engraving on paper is part of his renowned Florilegium collection. The intricate details captured in this botanical plate highlight the scarlet-flower blood-root's unique characteristics. Its smallish perennial form and striking red sap give it its distinct name. Indigenous to north-eastern Queensland and the Northern Territory in Australia, this species thrives in heaths and forests, particularly on sandy soils. Banks' expedition encountered Haemodorum coccineum during their exploration of Point Lookout and Endeavour River in 1770. The print beautifully depicts the plant's vivid colors and delicate structure, showcasing its natural beauty for all to admire. This historical edition print measures 46x31 cm and was meticulously engraved by Thomas Scratchley after Sydney Parkinson's initial sketching in 1770, later refined by John Frederick Miller. A collaboration that brings together artistry with scientific precision. A true testament to both artistic talent and botanical expertise, this print serves as a valuable resource for those interested in botany or natural history.
