EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Brazilian Copperlily, or Robust Habranthus (Habranthus robustus). The delicate pink blooms of this plant, native to South America, are depicted in all their glory, unfurling in the soft rain. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamen are expertly captured in this engraving by Weddell, after the original observation by W. Herbert. The Brazilian Copperlily, also known as the Robust Habranth, is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family and is native to Brazil and Paraguay. It is characterized by its robust, erect stems that can grow up to 30 cm tall, bearing several pink or white flowers. The leaves are long and narrow, and the plant blooms in the late summer or early autumn. This botanical illustration is taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," published in London in 1854 by G. Willis. Lindley was a renowned botanist and horticulturist, and Sweet was a prominent horticulturist and nurseryman. Together, they produced a series of botanical works that showcased the most beautiful and exotic plants of the time. The handcoloured copperplate engraving technique was a popular method for producing high-quality botanical illustrations during the 19th century. The process involved creating a copperplate engraving, which was then handcoloured by skilled artists to add depth and vibrancy to the image. This technique allowed for exceptional detail and accuracy in the depiction of plants, making it an ideal method for botanical illustration.
