EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Downy-flowered Witsenia, Witsenia maura, a beautiful and rare plant that was once a prized addition to Victorian gardens. The botanical illustration was created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers, and meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Downy-flowered Witsenia is a small, herbaceous perennial that is native to the Mediterranean region. Its delicate, downy-covered leaves and clusters of small, white, star-shaped flowers make it a charming and elegant addition to any garden. In this illustration, the plant is depicted in its full glory, with its slender stem and intricately detailed leaves and flowers. Mrs. Withers' skillful botanical illustration captures the essence of the Downy-flowered Witsenia, providing a detailed and accurate record of its appearance. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty and vibrancy to the image, bringing the plant to life and making it a true work of art. The copperplate engraving process used to create this print was a popular method for producing high-quality botanical illustrations during the Victorian era. The process involved creating a copper plate with a design, which was then inked and pressed onto paper to create a detailed and precise image. The use of hand-coloring added an additional level of artistry and detail to the print. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration of the Downy-flowered Witsenia is a testament to the skill and artistry of Mrs. Augusta Withers and S. Nevitt, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian botany and horticulture.
