EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning Silverleafed Princess Flower, Tibouchina heteromalla, a captivating beauty native to Brazil. 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 work, "The Botanist," in London during 1836. The Silverleafed Princess Flower, also known as Heteromallous Pleroma or Pleroma heteromalla, is a member of the Malvaceae family and is renowned for its unique silver-grey foliage and vibrant, magenta-purple blooms. The intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stamen are expertly captured in this engraving, providing a breathtaking representation of the plant's natural beauty. The Victorian-era botanical illustration serves as a testament to the dedication and passion of the botanical community during this period. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques further enhance the allure of the Silverleafed Princess Flower, making it a true masterpiece in the realm of botanical art. Mrs. Withers, the accomplished artist behind the original illustration, skillfully captured the essence of the Silverleafed Princess Flower, providing a valuable record of this remarkable plant for generations to come. S. Nevitt's engraving, in turn, preserves the essence of Withers' work, offering a glimpse into the rich botanical heritage of the past. This enchanting image of the Silverleafed Princess Flower invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistry of those who sought to document and preserve it. A true treasure for any botanical enthusiast, collector, or admirer of the natural world.
