EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the Oblique-leaved Begonia, a stunning flowering plant that was captivating the imagination of botanical enthusiasts during the late Georgian era. The image is taken from The Temple of Flora, a beautifully illustrated book published between 1799 and 1807 by renowned botanist Dr. Robert John Thornton. The engraving was expertly executed by Caldwall after a painting by Philip Reinagle, showcasing the intricate details of the Begonia's oblique-shaped leaves and its delicate, pale pink and white flowers. The Temple of Flora was a groundbreaking publication that celebrated the natural world and showcased the latest discoveries in botany. The book was a testament to the growing fascination with the natural world during this time, as well as the advancements in botanical illustration techniques. The Oblique-leaved Begonia was a popular addition to the collections of affluent plant enthusiasts and was often displayed in greenhouses and conservatories. The plant's unique leaves, which curve at an angle, add to its allure and make it a standout among other Begonia varieties. The presence of a butterfly in the print adds to the overall beauty and harmony of the scene, emphasizing the connection between the plant world and the natural world. The Oblique-leaved Begonia continues to be a beloved plant today, and this print serves as a reminder of its historical significance and the fascination it inspired during the Georgian era.
