EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Tree-like Statice, Statice arborea, a stunning botanical beauty from the Victorian era. The intricate detail of this rare plant is captured perfectly in this engraving, which was produced after a botanical illustration by the talented Miss Jane Taylor. The image was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, "The Botanist," in London, 1836. The Tree-like Statice, native to the Canary Islands, is a unique and captivating plant, with its tree-like structure and delicate, star-shaped flowers. The plant's branches are adorned with small, green leaves, and its clusters of flowers bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The engraving process used to create this image involved the transfer of an image from an original drawing to a copper plate, which was then inked and pressed onto paper. The intricate details of the plant were carefully hand-colored, adding an extra layer of beauty and realism to the final product. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to botanical accuracy that was characteristic of Victorian botanical illustrations. It is a reminder of a time when the study of nature was a source of wonder and inspiration, and when the beauty of the natural world was celebrated through the art of botanical illustration.
