EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Weddell, published in Samuel Curtis' Botanical Magazine in London in 1819, showcases the stunning beauty of the Giant Granadilla, scientifically known as Passiflora quadrangularis. The Giant Granadilla, also referred to as Barbadine, Grenadine, Tumbo, Badea, or Passionfruit, is a large, vine-like plant native to South America. The illustration captures the intricate details of the Giant Granadilla's unique features. The large, oblong fruit is encased in a thick, prickly rind, with a netted texture that provides a striking contrast to the vibrant, golden-yellow pulp within. The fruit is surrounded by a crown of five large, white petals, each adorned with a distinctive, intricate design of veins and filaments. The Passiflora genus, to which the Giant Granadilla belongs, is renowned for its striking flowers, which are often referred to as the "passion flowers." These flowers are characterized by their radial symmetry, with a central column of filaments surrounded by a corona of petals and sepals. The intricate design of these flowers is believed to represent the Christian story of the Passion of Christ, hence the common name "passion flower." The Giant Granadilla is not only a botanical curiosity, but also a delicious fruit. The pulp is sweet and juicy, with a unique, slightly tart flavor. The seeds are also edible and can be roasted and ground into a flour, making the plant a valuable source of food for many communities in its native range. This beautiful and intricate illustration provides a window into the natural world of the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. It is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the time, who meticulously captured the details of the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
