EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Bell-flowered Hoya, Hoya campanulata, native to the Java region. The intricate detail of the artwork, created by George Barclay based on an illustration by Miss Sarah Drake, was first published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London in 1847. The Bell-flowered Hoya is a captivating epiphytic plant, known for its bell-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters. The delicate, waxy petals of these flowers are often bi-colored, displaying shades of pink and white. The plant's leaves are oval-shaped and glossy, adding to its allure. Miss Sarah Drake, the talented female artist and painter, skillfully captured the essence of this beautiful plant, providing a precise and accurate representation for Barclay to engrave. The resulting artwork showcases the intricate details of the Hoya campanulata, from the veining on its leaves to the delicate folds of its bell-shaped flowers. John Lindley, the editor of the Edwards Botanical Register, was a renowned botanist and horticulturist, known for his extensive knowledge and contributions to the field of botany. The publication of this artwork in his register further solidified its importance in the scientific community and showcased the beauty and intrigue of the natural world. This stunning artwork is a testament to the artistry and dedication of those who sought to document and preserve the natural world through illustration and engraving. The Bell-flowered Hoya remains a beloved plant among gardeners and botanists, and this artwork continues to serve as a reminder of its unique beauty and charm.
