EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Splendid Hibiscus, Hibiscus splendens. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Mills and subsequently engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Splendid Hibiscus, a native of tropical America, is renowned for its large, vibrant, and velvety flowers. Each blossom measures up to 15 centimeters in diameter and boasts a rich, deep red color, with intricate veining and a golden-yellow center. The plant itself grows as a shrub or small tree, reaching heights of up to 3 meters. The Victorian era, during which this botanical illustration was produced, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. Collecting and documenting new plant species was a popular pastime among the affluent, and publications like "The Botanist" catered to this interest. Botanical illustrations, such as this one, were considered works of art in their own right, and the intricacy and detail of this engraving are a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and engravers involved. Today, the Splendid Hibiscus remains a beloved plant in gardens around the world, and its stunning flowers continue to inspire artists and gardeners alike. This beautiful botanical illustration serves as a reminder of the beauty and intrigue of the natural world and the importance of documenting and preserving it for future generations.
