EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Hairy Tetratheca, or Tetratheca hirsuta. The image, created by G. Barclay from an original drawing by Miss Sarah Drake, was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. Hairy Tetratheca is a native plant of South America, specifically found in Argentina and Chile. This botanical illustration captures the plant's delicate features, including its vibrant, star-shaped, five-petaled flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The intricate veining on the leaves and the fine hairs that cover the plant's stems and undersides add to its textured allure. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is evident in the way the petals are rendered, with their velvety surfaces and subtle variations in color. The contrasting green hues of the leaves and stems provide a striking backdrop against which the flowers stand out. The Hairy Tetratheca was a popular ornamental plant in Victorian gardens, and this illustration would have been a cherished addition to any botanical collection. The artistry and craftsmanship displayed in this print serve as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era.
