EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the striking beauty of Centropogon cornutus, also known as Shrubby Lobelia or Lobelia surinamensis. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Sansom and published in William Curtis' esteemed Botanical Magazine in London, in the year 1793. The intricate details of the plant's foliage and flowers are masterfully captured in this work of art. Centropogon cornutus is a tropical shrub native to South America, particularly in Suriname and Brazil. It is characterized by its dense, bushy growth and vibrant, two-lipped flowers that come in shades of blue, purple, and white. The plant's flowers are renowned for their alluring fragrance, which attracts various pollinators, including bees and hummingbirds. The illustration captures the essence of the plant's natural beauty, with its delicate petals, intricately textured leaves, and the subtle variations in color that make each bloom unique. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving process ensures that every detail is rendered with precision and accuracy, making it an invaluable addition to any botanical collection. The Botanical Magazine, under the direction of William Curtis, was a pioneering publication in the field of botany, dedicated to documenting and showcasing the world's diverse plant life. The publication of this engraving of Centropogon cornutus represents a significant contribution to the scientific understanding and appreciation of this plant species.
