EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of Sticky Nightshade, Solanum sisymbriifolium, also known by its alternative names Balbis solanum and Solanum balbisii. The botanical illustration was created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers and published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed work, "The Botanist," in London during 1836. Sticky Nightshade is a member of the Solanaceae family, which also includes tomatoes, potatoes, and bell peppers. This herbaceous perennial plant is native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, and is characterized by its decurrent stems that cling to surfaces, giving it the common name "Sticky Nightshade." The leaves of this plant are oval-shaped, with a serrated edge and a distinctive sticky surface, as depicted in the illustration. The Sticky Nightshade produces small, white or pinkish flowers that bloom in clusters during the summer months. These flowers give way to small, round, black or purple berries that are edible but are not considered palatable due to their bitter taste. The plant's sticky stems and leaves have earned it a place in Victorian gardens as an ornamental specimen, adding texture and interest to the garden landscape. Mrs. Withers' meticulous illustration captures the beauty and intricacy of the Sticky Nightshade, providing a window into the botanical world of the Victorian era. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This engraving is a testament to the dedication and skill of the botanical illustrators of the past, who captured the natural world with such precision and artistry.
