EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Various Leaved Chorizema, or Chorizema varium. Originally depicted by Miss Sarah Drake and meticulously rendered by the skilled hand of G. Barclay, this botanical illustration was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. The Various Leaved Chorizema is a striking plant, with its velvety, heart-shaped leaves displaying an array of intriguing variations in shape and size. The leaves, which range from oval to obovate and are often tinged with a rosy hue, create a mesmerizing contrast against the plant's delicate, tubular flowers. These flowers, which bloom in shades of pink and white, are arranged in dense, terminal clusters and possess a captivating, sweet fragrance. Chorizema varium is a native of South America, specifically Brazil, and was highly prized by Victorian-era horticulturists for its ornamental value. This botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the plant's aesthetic appeal but also provides an invaluable record of its appearance during this period. The intricate details captured in this engraving reveal the dedication and artistry of both Miss Sarah Drake and G. Barclay, making it an essential addition to any botanical or horticultural collection.
