EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Papaver-like or poppy-flowered Nuttalia, a beautiful and intriguing plant that was once classified as Nuttallia papaver or Callirhoe papaver. The illustration was drawn by the renowned botanical artist Dr. Greville and expertly engraved by Swan. It was published in William Curtis's esteemed Botanical Magazine, Volume 22, in 1833. The Nuttalia, with its striking resemblance to poppies, was a subject of great interest to botanists and horticulturists of the time. The delicate, papery petals of its large, vibrant flowers unfurl to reveal a golden center, reminiscent of the opium poppy. The plant's foliage is composed of narrow, lobed leaves, and it is believed to be native to North America. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the 19th century, when the study and documentation of new plant discoveries were at the forefront of scientific exploration. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and engravers involved in producing these works. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1787, was an essential resource for botanical research and education, and its publication of this image of the poppy-flowered Nuttalia highlights the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
