EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Blue Nasturtium, Tropaeolum azureum. The image, created by the skilled hands of George Barclay after an original illustration by Miss Sarah Drake, was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley, in London during 1842. The intricate details of the Blue Nasturtium's delicate petals and vibrant blue hue are brilliantly captured in this work of art. Miss Sarah Drake, a talented woman artist of her time, skillfully depicted the Blue Nasturtium in its natural splendor. Her illustration served as the inspiration for Barclay's engraving, which showcases the flower in a garden setting, surrounded by lush greenery and other flora. The meticulous process of hand-coloring each print added an additional layer of artistry, bringing the image to life with rich, vibrant colors. The Blue Nasturtium, also known as the Blue Cress or Blue Tropaeolum, is a rare and striking variety of nasturtium. Its unique blue blooms contrast beautifully with the bright orange and yellow varieties commonly associated with the plant. This engraving is a testament to the enduring appeal of botanical art and the beauty of the natural world, providing a glimpse into the past while continuing to inspire and delight. The Edwards Botanical Register, under the guidance of its esteemed editor, John Lindley, was a leading publication of its time, dedicated to documenting and showcasing the wonders of the botanical world. This Blue Nasturtium engraving is a prime example of the high-quality work produced by the publication and the artists and craftsmen involved in its creation.
