EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Variable Dendrobium Orchid, scientifically known as Dendrobium mutabile, also referred to as the Three-knobbed Dendrobium or Dendrobium triadenium. The image was meticulously created by George Barclay based on an original illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, as featured in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London during 1847. The Variable Dendrobium Orchid is a stunning example of nature's intricate design. Its long, slender stems are adorned with small, waxy leaves, and its blooms display an enchanting array of colors, ranging from white and green to pink and purple. The flowers themselves are a marvel, with three distinct knobs or projections at their base, adding to their unique charm. Miss Sarah Drake's artistic prowess is evident in her delicate and precise rendering of the orchid's intricate details. The engraving by George Barclay further enhances the image, capturing the essence of the orchid's beauty with remarkable accuracy and detail. The use of handcolouring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the print, making it a true work of art. The Variable Dendrobium Orchid was a popular subject for botanical illustrators and collectors during the 19th century due to its rarity and allure. This stunning print serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of those who sought to document and preserve the natural world for future generations.
