EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning Blue Trumpet, Brunoniella australis, also known as New Holland Ruellia or Ruellia australis. The botanical illustration was originally created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers and later meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for inclusion in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's prestigious publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Blue Trumpet is a captivating flower native to Australia, characterized by its vibrant blue trumpet-shaped blooms. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamen are beautifully captured in this engraving, providing a remarkable representation of the plant's natural beauty. The Victorian-era garden setting in the background adds an elegant touch to the illustration, emphasizing the importance of botany during this period. The woman artist, depicted in the scene, further highlights the role of women in botanical exploration and documentation. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work and dedication of the botanical community during the 19th century, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The hand-coloring technique adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the already impressive details, making this a truly stunning piece of botanical art.
