EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the intricate beauty of the Fringed-leaved Passionflower, Passiflora ciliata. The image, published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine in London in 1795, captures the delicate details of this enchanting plant. The Fringed-leaved Passionflower is native to Central and South America and is distinguished by its unique fringed leaves, which are adorned with fine, wavy edges. The vibrant, five-petaled flowers bloom in various shades of white, pink, and purple, with intricate filaments and stigmas that resemble the distinctive structures found in other passionflowers. The engraving also highlights the plant's tendrils, which coil around supports, allowing the vine to climb and grow. The Botanical Magazine, founded by Curtis in 1787, was a leading horticultural publication of its time, dedicated to the dissemination of accurate botanical knowledge through high-quality illustrations. This particular engraving was produced under the supervision of skilled engravers Sydenham Edwards and Sansom, who meticulously captured the essence of the Fringed-leaved Passionflower, providing botanists, gardeners, and enthusiasts with a stunning representation of this plant.
