EDITORS COMMENTS
Long-leaved Euthales, Euthales macrophylla, also known as Velleia macrophylla, is a rare and beautiful native Australian plant, showcased in this exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving. The botanical illustration was created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers, with the engraving skillfully executed by S. Nevitt. This stunning artwork was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned botanical publication, "The Botanist," in London, 1836. The Long-leaved Euthales is native to the southwestern parts of Western Australia and is characterized by its long, slender leaves, which can grow up to 30 centimeters in length. The plant is a shrub that can reach heights of up to 1.5 meters. The flowers of the Long-leaved Euthales are small, white, and tubular, and they bloom during the summer months. This botanical illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Australian flora, which was being discovered and documented during the Victorian era. Mrs. Withers' meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of the plant in her artwork, combined with Nevitt's expert engraving skills, resulted in a stunning and accurate representation of the Long-leaved Euthales. The Victorian garden depicted in the background of the illustration adds to the overall elegance and beauty of the artwork. The woman in the garden, dressed in Victorian attire, adds a sense of scale and human connection to the illustration. Overall, this hand-coloured copperplate engraving is a valuable historical and artistic record of a rare and fascinating Australian plant.
