EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of the Epidendrum macrocarpum orchid, also known as Schomburgk's epidendrum or Epidendrum schomburgkii. The intricate detail of the engraving, created by S. Nevitt after a botanical illustration by Mrs. Augusta Withers, brings to life the vibrant colors and unique features of this remarkable orchid. The Epidendrum macrocarpum is a native of Central and South America, with large, waxy, and fragrant flowers that can grow up to 10 inches in length. The orchid's petals are a rich, velvety green with bright yellow stripes and a distinctive red lip. The long, arching inflorescence bears multiple flowers, making it a true showstopper in any botanical garden or Victorian-era greenhouse. Mrs. Withers' illustration captures the orchid's natural elegance and grace, with the artist's deft touch bringing out the intricate veining on the leaves and the delicate texture of the petals. The copperplate engraving process, popular during the Victorian era, was used to create high-quality, detailed prints that were highly sought after by collectors and botanical enthusiasts. Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's publication, The Botanist, was a leading source for botanical knowledge during this time, and this engraving is a testament to the high-quality botanical illustrations and detailed research that were featured in its pages. The image of the Epidendrum macrocarpum orchid is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical record of this fascinating plant species.
