EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty of the American browallie, also known as the Jamaican forget-me-not, amethyst flower, or bush violet. The intricate botanical illustration was created by James Sowerby in 1787 for William Curtis' renowned publication, The Botanical Magazine. The American browallie is depicted in all its glory, showcasing its vibrant purple hues and delicate petals. This tall variety of browallia, scientifically known as Browallia americana or Browallia elata, is native to Jamaica and has become a beloved ornamental plant around the world. Sowerby's attention to detail is evident in this artwork, with each petal and leaf meticulously rendered. The engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable knowledge about this exquisite flower. It highlights Sowerby's expertise in capturing botanical specimens with accuracy and precision. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate the artistry of both Sowerby and Curtis while celebrating the wonders of nature.
