EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Variete of calceolaria, also known as the small slipper or lady purse flower. The Narrow-leaved slipperwort, Calceolaria angustiflora, is depicted in intricate detail, showcasing its unique shape and vibrant colors.
Created in 1831 by artist William Jackson Hooker for Samuel Curtis's "Botanical Magazine," this print is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of botanical illustrations from the 19th century. The meticulous rendering of each petal and leaf reflects a deep appreciation for the natural world and a dedication to capturing its essence on paper.
The elegance of this floral composition is further enhanced by the skillful hand-coloring done by an unknown artist named Swan. The soft hues and subtle shading bring out the nuances of each element, creating a lifelike representation that is both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically accurate.
As you gaze upon this vintage print, you are transported back in time to an era when botanical exploration was at its peak. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in every stroke remind us of the rich history behind these botanical illustrations and their enduring appeal across generations.
