EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Great Flowered Stanhopea Orchid, Stanhopea grandiflora. The intricate details of this exquisite orchid are captured perfectly in this Victorian-era botanical illustration, produced by the skilled hands of S. Nevitt, based on an original painting by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers. The Great Flowered Stanhopea Orchid, also known as Stanhopea grandiflora, is a native of Central and South America. This engraving, published in Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, "The Botanist," in London in 1836, showcases the orchid in all its glory. The delicate petals of the orchid are depicted in rich, vibrant colors, with intricate veining and patterns that are a testament to the artist's skill and attention to detail. The Victorian era was a time of great fascination with the natural world, and botanical illustrations like this one were highly prized for their beauty and accuracy. Mrs. Withers, the artist behind this illustration, was a talented botanical painter who captured the essence of the Great Flowered Stanhopea Orchid with remarkable precision and artistry. The use of hand-coloring added an extra layer of detail and depth to the engraving, making it a true work of art. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the wonders of nature. Whether displayed in a Victorian garden, a botanical museum, or a private collection, this stunning orchid print is sure to captivate and inspire all who see it.
