EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Bomarea dulcis, also known as Sweet Collania or Collania dulcis. The image is a faithful representation of the original illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, as published in the prestigious Edwards Botanical Register, edited by the renowned botanist John Lindley, in London during 1847. Miss Drake's artistry is on full display in this depiction of the Bomarea dulcis, with its delicate female figure gracefully holding the vibrant, star-shaped flower against a lush garden backdrop. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stem are rendered with meticulous precision by the skilled hand of George Barclay, who expertly translated Miss Drake's illustration into this stunning work of art. The Bomarea dulcis, native to South America, is a tuberous plant that produces large, showy flowers in various shades of pink, red, and white. The plant's sweet-smelling blooms have long been admired for their allure and elegance, making them a popular subject for botanical illustrations and gardens alike. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the individuals involved in its creation, as well as the fascination with the natural world that drove the botanical illustration movement during the 19th century. The intricate details and rich colors captured in this print continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
