EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured botanical illustration depicts the stunning purple flowers of Solanum pensile, a native plant from South America. The illustration was created by the talented Matilda Smith and expertly lithographed by E. Bates for the prestigious Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1889. Published by L. Reeve & Co, this illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the botanical illustrators of the late 19th century. Solanum pensile, also known as the hanging bellflower or the purple-flowered trumpet vine, is a vine species that is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. The plant is characterized by its long, trailing stems and its beautiful, trumpet-shaped purple flowers, which bloom in the summer months. The illustration captures the intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stamens, as well as the delicate filaments that extend from the base of each petal. The Curtis Botanical Magazine was founded in 1847 by Joseph Dalton Hooker, a renowned British botanist and explorer. The magazine was dedicated to the publication of high-quality botanical illustrations, and was widely regarded as the leading authority on plant documentation during the Victorian era. The publication of this illustration of Solanum pensile in 1889 represents the culmination of years of painstaking research, observation, and artistic skill. Today, this historical illustration remains an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the important role that it played in the documentation and classification of the world's plant species.
