EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Calanthe pulchra, also known as the Yellow-spiked Calanthe or Calanthe curculigoides. Native to Asia, this orchid is depicted in its full glory, with its delicate, female flowers adorned with intricate yellow spikes. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by George Barclay for the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London during 1847. The Calanthe pulchra is a beloved member of the Orchidaceae family, renowned for its captivating allure and ethereal elegance. Its petite, feminine flowers bloom in clusters, each one graced with a long, curved spike that adds an alluring contrast to the delicate petals. The vibrant yellow hue of the spikes adds a pop of color against the soft, pastel shades of the petals, making this orchid a true standout in any botanical collection. This stunning engraving serves as a testament to the dedication and artistry of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century. Miss Sarah Drake's meticulous attention to detail and George Barclay's expert engraving techniques bring the Calanthe pulchra to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in all its splendor. The Calanthe pulchra remains a cherished symbol of the natural world's enchanting allure and the power of art to capture its essence.
