EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Calochortus barbatus lily, also known as the Yellow Mariposa Lily or the Mexican Mariposa Lily. The engraving is based on a botanical illustration by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers, created in the mid-19th century for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, "The Botanist." The Calochortus barbatus is a native plant of Mexico and the southwestern United States, characterized by its slender stem, grass-like leaves, and striking yellow flowers. The intricate details of the lily's petals, veins, and stamen are masterfully captured in this engraving, providing a vivid and accurate representation of the plant's natural form. The engraving process involved creating an original drawing, which was then transferred to a copper plate coated with a light-sensitive substance. The plate was exposed to sunlight through the drawing, etching the lines into the copper. The plate was then inked and wiped, leaving the engraved lines filled with ink. The paper was pressed onto the plate, transferring the ink and creating a reverse image of the original drawing. The final touch was the application of hand-coloring, which brought the lily to life with its vibrant yellow hues. This image of the Calochortus barbatus lily is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the Victorian era's botanical illustrators and engravers. Mrs. Withers's delicate and precise illustration, combined with Nevitt's expert engraving and hand-coloring, resulted in a stunning representation of this beautiful and intriguing plant.
