EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Rice Flower, Calyptrostegia intermedia, also known as Intermediate Pimelea or Pimelea intermedia. The botanical illustration was originally created by the talented Miss Maund and meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for the publication "The Botanist," edited by Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow in London during the Victorian era, around 1836. The Rice Flower is a native Australian plant, with delicate white petals that resemble grains of rice, giving it its common name. The intricate details of the flower's structure are brilliantly captured in this engraving, from the delicate veins on the petals to the intricately textured stamen and pistil. The botanical illustration was a crucial part of the scientific process during the 19th century, as it allowed for accurate documentation and identification of new plant species. The intricate and detailed nature of hand-colored copperplate engravings, such as this one, made them highly sought-after for their beauty and precision. Miss Maund's artistic skill is evident in the delicate shading and fine lines used to depict the Rice Flower. The use of hand-coloring added an additional layer of detail and depth to the illustration, making it a true work of art. S. Nevitt's engraving process further enhanced the image, capturing every minute detail of the botanical specimen with remarkable accuracy. This stunning Rice Flower illustration is a testament to the beauty and importance of botanical art and science during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and passion that botanists and artists had for documenting and preserving the natural world.
