EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of Mimulus roseus x Mimulus cardinalis, also known as Hodson's Hybrid Mimulus or Mimulus roseo-cardinalis. The image is taken from Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. Mimulus roseus, commonly known as the Scarlet Monkeyflower, and Mimulus cardinalis, the Scarlet Bee-flower, are two distinct species of monkeyflowers native to North America. The hybrid, Mimulus roseo-cardinalis, is a result of their cross-pollination, producing a captivating blend of their distinct characteristics. The engraving accurately depicts the vibrant red and yellow flowers, with their distinctive long spurs, which attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds. The foliage is also shown, with its lanceolate shape and slightly hairy stems. This Victorian-era botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate engraving process involved creating a design on a copper plate, etching the design into the metal, and then applying color by hand. The resulting image is a work of art that not only captures the botanical accuracy of the plant but also its aesthetic appeal. The Botanist was a highly respected publication during the 19th century, and this engraving is a prime example of the exceptional quality and detail that made it so sought after by botanists, horticulturists, and collectors alike.
