EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the rare and endangered Colea colei, also known as General Coles Bignonia or the Cape Honeysuckle. The plant is a native to South Africa, specifically the Western Cape region, and was first illustrated and described by Mrs. Telfair in 1828 for the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London. The engraving, produced by Swan after Mrs. Telfair's original illustration, captures the beauty and intricacy of the Colea colei in stunning detail. The vibrant, tubular flowers of this Bignonia species bloom in clusters, ranging in color from yellow to orange and red, with a distinctive dark line running down the length of each petal. The plant's foliage is a rich, glossy green, and it climbs as a vine, making it an attractive addition to any botanical garden or greenhouse. The Colea colei is currently listed as endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as over-collection for the horticultural trade. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting this rare and beautiful plant for future generations to appreciate. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past, who painstakingly documented the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes. The work of William Jackson Hooker, the editor of the Botanical Magazine during this time, and other prominent botanists and artists of the era, contributed significantly to the advancement of botany and the appreciation of the natural world.
