EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of the Narrow-leaved Solanum, or Solanum angustifolium. The botanical illustration was originally created by the talented Miss Sara Maund and meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Narrow-leaved Solanum is a charming and intricately designed plant, with narrow, oblong leaves that are lightly serrated along the edges. The plant is depicted here in full bloom, displaying its vibrant, bell-shaped flowers that range in color from white to pink. The delicate petals unfurl to reveal a rich, golden-yellow interior, adding a pop of color against the lush green foliage. The Victorian-era botanical illustration captures the essence of the Narrow-leaved Solanum in stunning detail, with each petal, leaf, and vein rendered with precision and artistry. The engraving process, which involved transferring the illustration onto a copper plate and etching it with acid, allowed for intricate lines and shading, resulting in a highly detailed and visually stunning final product. Miss Sara Maund's botanical illustrations were renowned for their accuracy and artistic merit, making them highly sought-after by collectors and scholars of the time. This particular engraving is a testament to her skill and dedication to capturing the natural world in all its beauty. The Narrow-leaved Solanum remains a beloved plant among gardeners and botanists today, and this engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of its timeless charm.
