EDITORS COMMENTS
Bejuco de Santiago, or Aristolochia trilobata, is a captivating and intricately beautiful plant species, as depicted in this exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving from the Victorian era. Created by Watts after a botanical illustration by Mills, this image is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the time. Aristolochia trilobata, also known as Trifid Birthwort or Trifida, is a vine native to Central and South America. Its unique and striking appearance is characterized by its three-lobed leaves, which give the plant its name. The plant is also notable for its pipevine-like flowers, which are pollinated by specific moths attracted to their strong, unpleasant odor. This engraving is a stunning example of the botanical illustrations featured in Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The work was a significant contribution to the field of botany during the Victorian era, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world through precise and detailed illustrations. The intricate engraving process involved the transfer of a design from an original drawing to a copper plate, which was then etched with acid to create the lines and details. The plate was then inked and hand-coloured, resulting in the vibrant and lifelike image we see today. This image invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistic skill of the past.
