EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of the Winged-podded sophora, Sophora tetraptera, with its pale green flowers in exquisite detail. Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty for "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" in 1807, this handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the intricate botanical artistry of the 19th century. 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 talent shines through in this illustration, as she expertly captures the essence of the winged podded sophora with precision and grace. The soft hues of green and subtle details of each flower make this print a true work of art. It serves not only as a botanical guidebook but also as a testament to Moriarty's skill as an artist and illustrator. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era when floral illustrations were highly prized for their beauty and accuracy. The Winged-podded sophora comes alive on paper, thanks to Moriarty's careful hand and keen eye for detail. This print is not just a piece of artwork - it is a window into history, showcasing both the natural world and the incredible talents of women like Henrietta Moriarty who defied societal norms to pursue their passions.
