EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Jaw-shaped Zygopetalum Orchid, Zygopetalum maxillare. The intricate detail of the flower is brilliantly rendered in this botanical illustration, produced by the skilled hand of Mrs. Augusta Withers and faithfully reproduced by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," in London during 1836. The Jaw-shaped Zygopetalum Orchid, also known as the "Maxillary Zygopetalum," is a mesmerizing epiphyte native to the tropical regions of South America. Its unique name derives from the distinctive shape of its labellum, which resembles a jaw with two prominent lobes. The orchid's vibrant, bi-colored petals and sepals create a striking contrast against the dark background of the engraving, highlighting its allure and intricacy. The Victorian era, during which this illustration was created, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. Botanical illustrations, such as this one, were highly sought after for their ability to capture the essence of the plants they depicted, often with remarkable accuracy and artistry. Mrs. Withers' illustration is a testament to this era's dedication to documenting the natural world and celebrating its beauty. As you gaze upon this Jaw-shaped Zygopetalum Orchid, you can almost hear the gentle hum of a bee or the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze. This enchanting work of art invites us to appreciate the wonders of nature and the artistry of those who sought to capture its essence.
