EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the intriguing and enchanting Devils Claw, Proboscidea fragrans, also known as Fragrant Martynia or Martynia fragrans. The image is a beautiful representation of the plant as observed by Miss Sarah Drake and meticulously captured by the skilled hand of engraver G. Barclay. Devils Claw, native to South Africa, is renowned for its unique and striking appearance. The plant's name derives from the distinctive, hook-shaped claws that adorn its seed pods, which resemble the paws of a devil or clawed animal. The plant can grow up to 1 meter in height and bears large, bell-shaped, fragrant flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The engraving showcases the plant in its full glory, with each intricate detail brought to life through the artistry of Barclay. The delicate veins on the leaves, the delicate petals of the flower, and the curved claws of the seed pods are all rendered with remarkable precision and detail. The warm, earthy tones of the hand-coloring further enhance the beauty of the image, making it a true botanical masterpiece. This illustration is taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," published in London in 1854 by G. Willis. The work was a comprehensive and influential botanical publication of its time, featuring a vast array of beautiful and intriguing plants from around the world. This particular image of the Devils Claw is a testament to the high-quality botanical illustrations that were produced during this era, and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and fascination of the natural world.
