EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Rattail Cactus, Disocactus flagelliformis, also known as Creeping Cereus or Cereus flagelliformis. The image is derived from a botanical illustration created by Sydenham Edwards, published in William Curtis' esteemed horticultural periodical, The Botanical Magazine, in 1787. The Rattail Cactus is a captivating succulent, native to Central and South America. Its unique appearance is characterized by its long, trailing stems adorned with small, cylindrical, ribbed segments. Each segment is further embellished with delicate, funnel-shaped flowers, which bloom in shades of pink, red, and white. These flowers unfurl from the tips of the stems, giving the plant its common name. The intricate details of the Rattail Cactus' anatomy are masterfully captured in this botanical illustration. The engraving process involved painstakingly transferring the original drawing onto a copper plate, which was then etched and inked before being pressed onto paper. The resulting image showcases the intricate textures and patterns of the cactus' stems and flowers with remarkable precision. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the botanical illustrations produced during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Botanical Magazine, under the direction of William Curtis and James Sowerby, was a leading publication in the field of botany and horticulture, documenting and disseminating knowledge about the natural world. Sydenham Edwards' illustration of the Rattail Cactus is a stunning example of the beauty and importance of these historical records.
