EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant and enchanting beauty of the Peacock Flower, Caesalpinia pulcherrima. The intricate details of the flower are brilliantly captured in this botanical illustration, created by the skilled hand of Miss Sara Maund and masterfully engraved by S. Nevitt. The Peacock Flower, also known as the Poinciana or Barbados Pride, is a native of Central and South America, particularly Mexico and the Caribbean. Its name derives from its striking resemblance to the plumage of a peacock, with its vivid red, orange, and yellow petals arranged in a radiant, fan-like shape. This dwarf tree is a popular ornamental plant, prized for its ability to add a burst of paradise to any garden. The Peacock Flower is not only a feast for the eyes but also holds cultural significance in various parts of the world, symbolizing pride, joy, and prosperity. This botanical illustration, published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's The Botanist, London, 1836, is a testament to the rich history of botanical art and the enduring allure of the natural world.
