EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the beautiful Potato Vine or Jasmine-leaved Bittersweet, scientifically known as Solanum jasminoides. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, with the engraving expertly executed by George Barclay. The image was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley, in 1847. The Potato Vine is a stunning ornamental plant, native to South America, that has become a popular addition to gardens around the world. Its vines can grow up to 30 feet long and are adorned with attractive, heart-shaped leaves that bear a resemblance to those of the jasmine plant. The nightshade family member produces small, white or pinkish flowers, which bloom in clusters, adding to its allure. The intricate details of the Potato Vine's foliage and flowers are beautifully captured in this engraving, showcasing the exceptional skill of both Miss Drake and George Barclay. The delicate hand-coloring further enhances the artwork, adding depth and vibrancy to the already stunning image. This print is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate. Whether displayed in a botanical garden, a private collection, or a personal study, this Potato Vine print is sure to captivate and inspire all who behold it.
