EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Large-flowered Bushwillow, Combretum grandiflorum, in all its glory. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by S. Watts for Sydenham Edwards' renowned publication, The Botanical Register, based in London, in the year 1833. The Large-flowered Bushwillow is a native of South Africa, and its stunning, vibrant flowers are a sight to behold. The plant is characterized by its tall, slender branches adorned with large, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters. These flowers are a captivating blend of rich red, pink, and white hues, making them a popular addition to botanical gardens around the world. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is evident in the intricate depiction of the Bushwillow's veined leaves, the delicate petals of its flowers, and the tiny stamen and pistils that can be seen within. The use of handcoloring further enhances the beauty of the illustration, bringing the Bushwillow to life with its rich, vibrant colors. The Botanical Register was a leading publication of its time, dedicated to the dissemination of accurate and detailed botanical information. This engraving is a testament to the high-quality work produced by the publication and the skill of its contributors. It is a valuable historical record of the Large-flowered Bushwillow and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
