EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Cottony Lathyrus, or Lathyrus tomentosus. The delicate plant is depicted in all its glory, with its tender, downy stems and leaves covered in soft, cotton-like hairs. The vibrant pink and white blooms adorn the plant, adding a splash of color to the Victorian garden. The illustration was created by the skilled botanical artist, Mills, and meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. Maund and Henslow were renowned botanists and publishers of the time, known for their high-quality botanical works. Lathyrus tomentosus is a charming and hardy annual plant, native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an ideal addition to any Victorian garden. The plant's cottony texture and attractive flowers make it a favorite among gardeners and naturalists. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of Victorian botanical illustrations. The delicate shading and precise lines capture the essence of the plant, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in all its glory. Whether used as a decorative piece in a home or as a reference for botanical studies, this engraving is a timeless treasure in the world of botany.
