EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Erythrina crista-galli," depicts the vibrant and intriguing Cocks Comb Coral Tree in all its glory. Drawn by the renowned botanical illustrator John Curtis and meticulously engraved by Weddell for the Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1820, this illustration showcases the tree's distinctive features that have fascinated botanists and gardeners for centuries. The Cocks Comb Coral Tree, also known as the Red-hot Poker or the Sausage Tree, is a native of Central and South America. Its common name derives from the tree's distinctive red, tubular flowers, which resemble the comb of a rooster. The tree's branches are adorned with these fiery red flowers, creating a stunning display that attracts various pollinators, including bees and hummingbirds. The handcolouring technique used in this engraving adds an extra layer of detail and beauty to the illustration. The rich reds, oranges, and yellows of the flowers pop against the lush green foliage, making this a truly captivating work of art. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a record of the natural world as it was observed and documented during the early 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colours of this engraving serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. The Cocks Comb Coral Tree remains a popular ornamental plant today, prized for its striking appearance and its ability to attract a variety of wildlife. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and appreciating the natural world, both in the past and in the present.
