EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Red five-corner, or Crimson Styphelia (Styphelia tubiflora). The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the skilled artist, Mrs. Augusta Withers, and later replicated through the intricate process of copperplate engraving by S. Nevitt. This stunning artwork was published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed botanical publication, "The Botanist," in London during 1836. The Red five-corner, also known as the Crimson Styphelia, is a rare and exotic flower native to South America. Its vibrant, crimson petals are arranged in a unique star-shaped pattern, giving rise to its alternative name, the Five-cornered Styphelia. The delicate filaments and intricate stamen are also depicted with remarkable detail in this illustration. Mrs. Withers' masterful depiction of the Red five-corner captures the essence of the Victorian era's fascination with botany and the natural world. The elegant, hand-colored engraving is a testament to the painstaking efforts of both the artist and the engraver to accurately and beautifully represent this rare and captivating flower. The Red five-corner was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during the Victorian era, as collectors and scholars sought to expand their knowledge of the natural world. This engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era, and continues to inspire awe and admiration today.
