EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Woodcock Bee-orchid, Ophrys scolopax subsp. cornuta, also known as the Horned Ophrys or the Female Woodcock Orchid. The intricate detail of this rare and beautiful flower is captured brilliantly in this illustration, which was produced by the skilled hand of George Barclay, based on an original drawing by the talented Miss Sarah Drake. The Woodcock Bee-orchid is a fascinating and elusive species of orchid, native to Europe and the Mediterranean region. It is named for its distinctive horn-like protrusion on its labellum, which resembles the shape of a woodcock's beak. This orchid is an expert mimic, using its unique appearance to attract its pollinators, which are typically bees. The illustration is taken from the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by the renowned botanist John Lindley. The publication, which was first established in 1834, was a leading source of botanical knowledge and beauty during the Victorian era. This particular engraving was published in 1846 by Ridgeway in London. The artist, Miss Sarah Drake, was a talented botanical illustrator of her time. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of her subjects made her a sought-after artist for botanical publications. Her work, along with that of other skilled illustrators and botanists of the era, contributed significantly to the advancement of botanical science and the appreciation of the natural world during the Victorian era.
