EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Rocky Gesnera, Gesnera rupestris, a captivating plant in the Gesneriaceae family. The engraving, created by S. Nevitt based on a botanical illustration by Mrs. Augusta Withers, was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, "The Botanist," in London during 1836. Mrs. Withers, a talented botanical artist, skillfully captured the intricate details of the Rocky Gesnera's vibrant flowers, which bloom in various shades of pink, purple, and red. The plant's name, rupestris, is derived from the Latin words for "rocky" and "dwelling," reflecting its preference for growing in rocky, shady environments. The Victorian-era garden enthusiasts and botanists of the time would have been enthralled by this beautiful and rare specimen. The intricate copperplate engraving process, which involved creating an engraving on a copper plate and then applying color by hand, further enhanced the image's allure. This engraving is an excellent example of the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accuracy that characterized Victorian-era botanical illustrations. It serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the passion of the artists and scientists who sought to document and preserve it for future generations.
