EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the enchanting Water Poppy, Hydrocleys nymphoides, as illustrated by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and engraved by S. Watts for The Botanical Register, published in London by Sydenham Edwards in 1833. The Water Poppy, also known as Humboldt's Limnocharis or Limnocharis humboldtii, is a beautiful aquatic plant native to South America. Its delicate, round, white or pink flowers sit atop the water's surface, creating a stunning display that seems to dance on the water's edge. The intricate details of the plant's veins, petals, and stems are masterfully captured in this historical engraving. The Water Poppy was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, where it was grown in ponds and water gardens to add a touch of elegance and whimsy. This image not only showcases the beauty of this unique plant but also transports us back in time to the world of botanical exploration and discovery during the 19th century.
