EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of Coprosma australis, a member of the Rubiaceae family. The image is an exquisite copperplate engraving on paper from Banks' Florilegium, created between 1771 and 1784. Measuring 46x31 cm, this historical piece was produced by Alecto Historical Editions in London. The artwork is a line engraving skillfully executed by Gerald Sibelius after Sydney Parkinson's original work in 1770 and Frederick Polydore Nodder's contribution. Joseph Banks, accompanied by his team, encountered this species during their expedition to Totara nui in New Zealand from January to February 1770. The print transports us back to the early years of the eighteenth century when botanical exploration flourished. It reflects the dedication and passion for natural sciences prevalent during that time period. The vibrant colors used in this colored illustration bring out the essence of nature's wonders. New Zealand's lush greenery serves as a backdrop for this plant specimen, highlighting its unique features within its natural habitat. This botanical plate not only captures the intricate details of Coprosma australis but also contributes to our understanding of plant life and biodiversity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry through their fine art collection. As we admire this print, we are reminded of both the scientific significance and aesthetic value it holds within the realm of botany and natural history.
