EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor illustration depicts Convolvulus tricolor, commonly known as bindweed or the dwarf morning glory, from George Brookshaw's comprehensive work "Full Directions for the Young Artist" published in 1817. The illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Convolvulus tricolor is a beautiful and intriguing member of the Convolvulaceae family, which is part of the larger order Solanales and the class Magnoliophyta. This eudicot angiosperm is characterized by its long, winding stems and distinctive blue-purple and white striped flowers with a yellow center. The plant is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves (cotyledons) and is a flowering plant, producing flowers that attract pollinators. The illustration showcases the delicate details of the plant's flowers, each petal intricately painted with veins and patterns. The long, curling tendrils are also depicted, highlighting the plant's ability to twine around other plants or structures for support. The use of watercolor adds depth and richness to the illustration, bringing out the vibrant colors and textures of the plant. George Brookshaw was a renowned botanical illustrator of his time, and this illustration is a testament to his skill and dedication to accurately depicting the natural world. The Convolvulus tricolor is just one of the many beautiful and intricate plants that Brookshaw captured in his work, making it an invaluable resource for botanical studies and artistic inspiration.
