EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the beautiful Crenate-flowered Calceolaria, Calceolaria crenatiflora, as illustrated by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and engraved by S. Watts for The Botanical Register, published in London by Sydenham Edwards in 1833. The intricate details of the Crenate-flowered Calceolaria's delicate petals and vibrant colors are masterfully captured in this historical botanical illustration. Calceolaria crenatiflora, also known as the Crenate-leaved Calceolaria or the Blue Calceolaria, is a species of Calceolaria native to South America. The plant produces small, blue-violet flowers with distinctive, wavy-edged petals, which earned it the common name Crenate-flowered Calceolaria. The Calceolaria genus, which includes over 1,000 species, is named for the calceolum, or "little shoe," shape of the flower. The Crenate-flowered Calceolaria was a popular ornamental plant in Victorian gardens, and botanical illustrations like this one were essential for the study and cultivation of exotic plants. The Botanical Register, founded in 1820, was one of the most prestigious botanical publications of the time, featuring high-quality illustrations and descriptions of new and rare plant species from around the world. This beautiful and historic print is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the Victorian era, and a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations continue to play in our understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
