EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of the Showy Gooseberry, also known as the Fuchsia-flowered Gooseberry (Ribes speciosum). The botanical illustration was created by Mills and published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed work, "The Botanist," in London, 1836. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the engraving capture the allure of this unique plant, which was highly sought after during the Victorian era for its ornamental value in gardens. The Showy Gooseberry is a deciduous shrub native to North America, distinguished by its large, showy, fuchsia-like flowers that bloom in late spring. The bell-shaped flowers display a captivating two-toned effect, with their bright pink calyces contrasting against their white petals. The plant's foliage is composed of oblong, green leaves, which provide a lush backdrop for the eye-catching blooms. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the fascination with the natural world during the Victorian era, a time when the study and documentation of plants was a significant cultural pursuit. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring techniques add to the engraving's artistic value, making it a cherished addition to any botanical collection or Victorian garden enthusiast's library.
