EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Drummond's Phlox, Phlox drummondii. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Mills, with the engraving skillfully executed by Watts for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. Drummond's Phlox, also known as Drummond's pink or Texas blue phlox, is a native wildflower of North America, particularly in Texas and Mexico. This charming perennial plant is renowned for its vibrant, five-petaled flowers that bloom in clusters, ranging in color from pink to lavender, with some boasting bi-colored petals. The flowers typically appear in late spring and continue into summer, adding a burst of color to gardens and meadows. The intricate details of the Drummond's Phlox in this engraving are a testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the Victorian era. The delicate veining on the leaves, the delicate petals, and the precise rendering of the reproductive structures all contribute to a stunning representation of this beloved wildflower. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical record of the botanical discoveries of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the fascination with the natural world during this period and the role that botanical illustrations played in documenting and preserving the beauty of the plant kingdom.
