EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Salmon Correa, or Correa pulchella, a native Australian fuchsia-like flower. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the skilled hand of Mrs. Augusta Withers and masterfully engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's influential work, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Salmon Correa, also known as Neat Correa, is a small shrub that thrives in the cooler regions of Australia. Its vibrant, tubular, salmon-pink flowers bloom in profusion from late autumn to early spring, attracting a variety of pollinators. The delicate petals are adorned with intricate veining and a subtle sheen, adding to the allure of this plant. The Victorian-era botanical illustration offers an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the remarkable attention to detail and artistic flair of the time. The meticulous process of hand-colouring each print added an extra layer of artistry, making each one a unique work of art. Mrs. Withers' illustration and Nevitt's engraving capture the essence of the Salmon Correa, providing an enduring record of its beauty and significance in the annals of botanical history. This enchanting image invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistry of those who sought to document it.
