EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Crimson Passionflower, Passiflora kermesina, a stunning and intricately beautiful flowering plant. The engraving is based on an illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and was published in Sydenham Edwards' renowned horticultural periodical, The Botanical Register, in 1833. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving by S. Watts brings out the vibrant colors and intricate structures of the Crimson Passionflower, making it a true work of art. The Crimson Passionflower, also known as the Maypop or Maracuya, is a vine native to South America. It is known for its large, showy flowers that bloom in the summer and fall. The flowers have a unique and intricate structure, with a central column of filaments surrounded by a ring of filaments, each tipped with a small, bright orange anther. The petals are a deep crimson color, with white or yellow markings and purple or blue spots. The Crimson Passionflower was a popular subject for botanical illustrators and collectors in the 19th century, and this engraving is a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world during that time. The intricate details captured in this print make it a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection, and it remains a beautiful reminder of the natural beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
