EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Tupa Poison Plant, or Lobelia tupa, as illustrated by Miss Sarah Drake and engraved by S. Watts for Sydenham Edwards' The Botanical Register, published in London by Ridgway in 1833. The Tupa Poison Plant is a native to South America, specifically the Andes Mountains of Peru and Chile, and is known for its distinctive bell-shaped flowers that range in color from white to purple. The plant gained notoriety for its toxic properties, as the tubers and roots contain potent alkaloids that can cause hallucinations, paralysis, and even death if ingested. Indigenous peoples in the Andes have used the plant for medicinal purposes, including as a treatment for asthma and other respiratory ailments, as well as for religious and ritualistic purposes. Despite its toxicity, the Tupa Poison Plant is also a beautiful addition to any botanical garden, with its tall spikes of vibrant flowers attracting a variety of pollinators. This exquisite engraving captures the intricate details of the plant's leaves, stems, and flowers, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botanical discovery and illustration. The Botanical Register, founded in 1820, was one of the most influential botanical publications of the 19th century, featuring high-quality illustrations and descriptions of new and exotic plant species from around the world. The collaboration between skilled illustrators like Sarah Drake and talented engravers like S. Watts resulted in stunning works of art that continue to captivate and inspire botanists, horticulturists, and art lovers alike.
