Clothed Solanum, Solanum vestitum: A Vibrant Botanical Discovery from Mexico This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Clothed Solanum, Solanum vestitum," is an intriguing botanical discovery from Mexico, as depicted in this stunning 19th-century illustration. The image, produced by the skilled hands of engraver S. Nevitt and botanical artist Mrs. Augusta Withers, was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, "The Botanist," in London, 1836. The Clothed Solanum, also known as Solanum vestitum, is a unique and captivating plant native to Mexico. The name "vestitum" refers to the plant's distinctive, velvety, and clothed appearance. In this illustration, the plant is shown in all its glory, with its vibrant, tubular flowers adorned with intricate, golden hairs that give it an otherworldly appearance. The delicate tendrils, which twist and curl around supports, add to the plant's enchanting beauty. Mrs. Withers' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, capturing the essence of the Clothed Solanum's unique features. The hand-coloring process, expertly executed by Nevitt, adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This Victorian-era botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty of the natural world but also highlights the remarkable skill and artistry of the individuals involved in its creation. The Clothed Solanum, Solanum vestitum, remains a fascinating botanical discovery, a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of documenting its wonders.
