This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the elegant beauty of Erythrina speciosa, also known as the Thornless Naked Flowering Coral Tree or the Poinciana var. subinermis. The image was created by the skilled hands of engraver S. Watts, based on an original illustration by Miss Sarah Drake, as published in Sydenham Edwards' renowned horticultural journal, The Botanical Register, in London, 1833. Erythrina speciosa is a captivating tropical tree, native to Central and South America, characterized by its vibrant, coral-red flowers that bloom profusely throughout the year. Unlike many other Erythrina species, this variety is unique for its thornless branches, making it an appealing choice for gardens and landscapes. The intricate details of the tree's foliage, veins, and flowers are exquisitely captured in this historical engraving. The delicate shades of pink and red in the handcoloring bring the image to life, showcasing the tree's allure and charm. The Botanical Register, founded by Sydenham Edwards in 1820, was a significant publication in the field of botany and horticulture. Its high-quality illustrations and meticulous detail made it a valuable resource for botanists, gardeners, and collectors alike. This engraving of Erythrina speciosa is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the artists, engravers, and publishers involved in producing such beautiful and accurate botanical records. Today, this historical image remains an inspiring reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and the beauty of the natural world. The Erythrina speciosa continues to captivate gardeners and botanists with its exotic allure and vibrant, thornless blooms.
