EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Glandularia tweedieana, also known as Mr. Tweedie's vervain or Verbena tweedieana. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the skilled hand of Henry John Burne and published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed work, "The Botanist," in London during 1836. The Victorian-era garden comes alive through the intricate details captured in this engraving, with the delicate, tubular, two-lipped flowers of Glandularia tweedieana gracing the foreground. The vibrant hues of blue and purple, as well as the subtle shading, bring the blossoms to life, while the stems and leaves are rendered with equal care and precision. The Glandularia genus, native to Central and South America, is characterized by its glandular hairs that exude a sticky substance. This feature is particularly evident in Glandularia tweedieana, which is named in honor of the Scottish botanist, Mr. Tweedie. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the dedication and artistry of the Victorian botanical community, who meticulously documented and celebrated the natural world. The intricate details and stunning colors of this engraving continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
