EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Red-flowered Water Lily, Nymphaea rubra. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the image are a testament to the skillful artistry of F. Sansom Jr., who created this engraving based on an original illustration by Sydenham Edwards. Published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine in 1810, this engraving captures the essence of this remarkable aquatic plant. The Red-flowered Water Lily, also known as the Hairy Pink Water Lily, is a native of South America. Its large, radiant red flowers with hairy pubescence bloom atop the water's surface, creating a breathtaking sight. The leaves of the plant are broad and circular, providing a large surface area for photosynthesis and supporting the plant's growth in the water. This engraving is a valuable historical record of the Red-flowered Water Lily, which was a popular subject in botanical illustration during the 18th and 19th centuries. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the image make it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection or garden-themed decor. Whether used as a reference for scientific study or simply appreciated for its aesthetic value, this engraving continues to captivate and inspire.
