EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the striking beauty of the Black-flowered Gonolobus niger, a plant that once graced the pages of the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London, published in 1828. The illustration was produced under the skilled direction of William Jackson Hooker, a renowned botanist and the future director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. The Black-flowered Gonolobus niger, also known as the Black-leaved Milkweed, is a captivating plant hailing from tropical regions of the Americas. Its velvety, dark foliage provides a striking contrast to the rich, inky hue of its flowers. The delicate, intricately detailed engraving by Swan masterfully captures the plant's allure, with each petal, vein, and leaf rendered with meticulous precision. The Black-flowered Gonolobus niger is a member of the Apocynaceae family and is known for its milky sap, which contains cardiac glycosides, making it potentially toxic. Despite this, the plant has been used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including heart conditions and skin disorders. The artistry and scientific accuracy of this engraving are a testament to the dedication and passion of the botanists, artists, and engravers of the time, who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the natural world. This image invites us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the Black-flowered Gonolobus niger, a plant that continues to fascinate and inspire botanists, artists, and gardeners alike.
