EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Comely Ladies Slipper, Cypripedium venustum, a rare and beautiful orchid native to North America. The illustration, drawn by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis and meticulously engraved by Weddell, was first published in the prestigious Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1820. The Comely Ladies Slipper, also known as the Pink Lady's Slipper or Venus' Slipper, is a delicate and captivating orchid with unique features. Its pale pink pouch-like labellum, shaped like a lady's slipper, surrounds the column, creating an intriguing and alluring appearance. The plant grows in rich, damp woodlands, and its vibrant blooms are a sight to behold, attracting pollinators such as bees and flies. This stunning illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical community during the 19th century. The intricate details of the Comely Ladies Slipper's petals, veins, and other features are captured with remarkable precision, making this a valuable addition to any botanical collection. The publication of this illustration in Curtis's Botanical Magazine marked an important contribution to the scientific community, as it helped document and preserve the knowledge of rare and exotic plants for future generations. Today, this historical piece continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world and the art of botanical illustration.
