EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the breathtaking beauty of a Shewy hybrid rhododendron (Rhododendron caucasico-arboreum), a rare and captivating tree rhododendron that was first discovered in the Caucasus Mountains in the early 19th century. The engraving, created by S. Nevitt based on a botanical illustration by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers, was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, "The Botanist," in London in 1836. The intricate details of the rhododendron's velvety, richly hued petals and its robust, tree-like structure are masterfully captured in this stunning work of art. The engraving also provides a glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with botany and the meticulous process of documenting new plant discoveries. Mrs. Withers, a skilled botanical artist, expertly captured the essence of this rare rhododendron, allowing future generations to appreciate its beauty and significance in the world of horticulture. The Shewy hybrid rhododendron remains a cherished and rare find in botanical gardens and private collections around the world, a testament to the enduring allure of these magnificent plants. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical exploration and documentation, as well as the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colours of this print make it a must-have for any botanical art or garden enthusiast's collection.
