EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Moritz Indian Cress, Tropaeolum moritzianum. The intricate details of the vibrant, tuberous-rooted plant are brilliantly rendered in this botanical illustration, created by the skilled hand of Mrs. Augusta Withers. The engraving, expertly executed by S. Nevitt, captures the delicate tendrils and distinctive yellow and red blooms of this rare and exotic plant. Moritz Indian Cress, also known as the Peruvian Nasturtium or Watercress Nasturtium, is a fascinating member of the Tropaeolaceae family. Originally discovered in the Andes Mountains of South America, this plant was first introduced to Europe in the early 19th century. The Moritz Indian Cress was a popular addition to Victorian gardens due to its unique appearance and the edible, peppery-tasting leaves and flowers. Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow, renowned botanists of their time, collaborated on the publication of "The Botanist," a comprehensive work featuring various botanical illustrations. This engraving, a testament to their dedication to documenting the natural world, is a stunning example of the meticulous attention to detail and artistic prowess of the Victorian era. The delicate, feminine touch of Mrs. Withers' illustration adds an elegant charm to the scientific accuracy of the engraving. The image of the Moritz Indian Cress is not only a beautiful work of art but also an essential contribution to the historical record of botanical discoveries. This print serves as a reminder of the fascination and wonder that the natural world continues to inspire in us.
