EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Errembault's Hybrid Alstroemeria, also known as Alstroemeria x errembaultii, a stunning cross between Alstroemeria peregrina and A. psittacina. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers and later engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Errembault's Hybrid Alstroemeria is a Victorian garden favorite, with its vibrant, bi-colored flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, and white. The intricate details of the flower's petals and stamens are expertly captured in this engraving, revealing the delicate complexity of the plant's structure. Mrs. Withers' artistic touch brings the Alstroemeria to life, with the addition of hand-coloring adding depth and vibrancy to the engraving. The background features a simple yet elegant design, allowing the flower to take center stage. Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow were prominent figures in the world of Victorian botany, and their publication, "The Botanist," was a respected source for accurate and detailed botanical illustrations. This engraving is a testament to their dedication to documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations. The Errembault's Hybrid Alstroemeria remains a popular choice for gardeners and flower enthusiasts today, and this stunning engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these beautiful flowers. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this engraving is a must-have for any botanical art collection or garden-themed decor.
