EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Morning Glory, Ipomoea tricolor, also known as the Reddish-blue ipomoea or Ipomoea rubro-coerulea. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers and published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed work, "The Botanist," in London in 1836. Morning Glories are renowned for their captivating vines, which can grow up to 15 feet long and are adorned with stunning, funnel-shaped flowers. The Morning Glory's vibrant, bi-colored blooms display a mesmerizing interplay of deep blue and rich red hues, earning them the moniker of "Reddish-blue ipomoea." The intricate details of these flowers are masterfully captured in this engraving, revealing the delicate veining on the petals and the intricate patterns on the stamen and pistil. Mrs. Withers, an accomplished artist, expertly hand-colored this engraving, bringing the Morning Glory to life with a vivid palette that perfectly complements its natural beauty. The image is a testament to the dedication and skill of the Victorian botanical illustrators, who meticulously documented the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes. This Morning Glory print is a captivating addition to any botanical collection or Victorian garden-themed decor. Its intricate details, stunning colors, and historical significance make it a must-have for botany enthusiasts, artists, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.
