EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Pink Snowberry, Symphoricarpos microphyllus, also known as Mountain St. Peter's Wort or Symphoricarpos montanus. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Mills and subsequently engraved by Watts for inclusion in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, "The Botanist," published in London during 1836. The Pink Snowberry is a native shrub of North America, boasting small, evergreen leaves and clusters of delicate, pink berries. The engraving captures the plant's intricate details, from the veined leaves to the delicate tendrils that cling to surrounding structures for support. The vibrant pink hue of the berries is rendered with exceptional accuracy, adding a pop of color to the otherwise green and brown tones of the engraving. The Victorian era, during which this botanical masterpiece was produced, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. "The Botanist" was a popular and influential publication, providing an accurate record of various plant species for scientific and horticultural purposes. This engraving is a testament to the painstaking process of botanical illustration and the beauty of the Pink Snowberry, a plant that continues to captivate gardeners and botanists alike. The intricate details of the engraving are further highlighted by the use of hand-coloring, which adds depth and richness to the image. The result is a stunning work of art that transports us back in time to the Victorian era and invites us to appreciate the natural world in all its intricacy and beauty.
