Two-lobed Eriops, Eriopsis biloba: A Stunning Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving from Edwards Botanical Register This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Two-lobed Eriops, also known as Eriopsis biloba, in all its intricate beauty. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by George Barclay for the Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley, in London during 1847. Miss Sarah Drake's artistic abilities are on full display in this illustration, as she skillfully captures the delicate details of the Two-lobed Eriops. The female flower of this plant is depicted in its full glory, with its two lobes unfurling to reveal their intricate structures. The lobes are adorned with fine veins and delicate hairs, adding to the plant's allure. George Barclay's engraving technique brings the illustration to life, with the fine lines and intricate details of the copperplate process perfectly capturing the essence of Miss Drake's original artwork. The use of handcolouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The Two-lobed Eriops was a popular subject in botanical illustration during the 19th century, and this engraving is a prime example of the high-quality work produced during this time. The image was likely used to showcase the plant's unique features and beauty, as well as to document its discovery and classification. This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of Miss Sarah Drake, George Barclay, and John Lindley, and remains an important piece of botanical history today.
