EDITORS COMMENTS
Madagascar Jasmine, Marsdenia floribunda, also known as Many-flowered Stephanotis or Floribunda Stephanotis, is a beautiful and fragrant vine native to Madagascar. This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving is a testament to the captivating beauty of this botanical marvel. The engraving, created by Watts after a botanical illustration by Mrs. Augusta Withers, was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, "The Botanist," in London, 1836. Mrs. Withers, a skilled botanical artist, meticulously captured the intricate details of the Madagascar Jasmine's delicate white flowers, which bloom in clusters, giving the vine its many-flowered name. The engraving process, carried out by Watts, further enhanced the image's elegance and precision. The Victorian era was a golden age for botanical illustrations, as the discovery of new plant species from around the world fueled a growing fascination with the natural world. This engraving is a prime example of the exquisite artistry and scientific accuracy that characterized the field during this period. The Madagascar Jasmine's captivating appearance and intoxicating fragrance have made it a popular choice for gardens and greenhouses, where it continues to enchant and inspire botanists, artists, and nature lovers alike.
