EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image showcases the exquisite beauty of the Crinum Pedunculatum, also known as the Swamp Lily, River Lily, or Mangrove Lily, as depicted in a captivating drawing by the talented hand of Mrs. Edward Bury, nee Priscilla Susan Falkner (1799-1872). The delicate plant, with its elegant white petals and distinctive stamen, thrives in the swampy environments of rivers and mangrove forests. Two enchanting butterflies, the Papilio Antenor and Papilio Menelaus, gracefully flutter around the Swamp Lily in this illustration. The Papilio Antenor, with its vibrant orange wings adorned with black markings, adds a burst of color to the scene. In contrast, the Papilio Menelaus, with its striking black and white wings, adds an ethereal and mysterious touch. This stunning artwork is one of several plates in the book "A Selection of Hexandrian Plants belonging to the natural orders of Amaryllidae and Liliacae," which was published in Liverpool, England in 1831. The intricate details of the drawing were expertly engraved by R. Havell, adding to the overall beauty and accuracy of the illustration. The 1830s were an exciting time for botanical illustration, with many talented artists and naturalists documenting the natural world around them. Mrs. Bury's work, in particular, stands out for its delicate and precise attention to detail, making this image a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of botanical art or the natural world.
