Mr. Herbert's Cypella, Cypella herbertii: A Victorian Botanical Masterpiece This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Mr. Herbert's Cypella, also known as Cypella herbertii. The engraving, created by S. Nevitt after a botanical illustration by the talented Miss Sara Maund, was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, 'The Botanist,' in London, 1836. The image captures the essence of this rare and exotic flower, which was a popular addition to Victorian gardens. The delicate, intricately detailed petals of the Cypella herbertii are depicted in vibrant colors, with each curve and line rendered with meticulous precision.

Botanical illustrations were a significant part of Victorian society, reflecting the fascination with the natural world and the desire to document and preserve the beauty of the plant kingdom. The Botanist, edited by Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow, was a leading publication in this field, showcasing the work of skilled botanical artists and engravers.
