EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Large-stipuled Passionflower, Passiflora tucumanensis, a captivating and intricately designed plant native to South America. The engraving is based on a botanical illustration by the renowned botanical artist, Walter Fitch, and was published in William Jackson Hooker's esteemed Botanical Magazine in London in 1838. Passiflora tucumanensis is a member of the Passionflower family, known for their distinctive and ornate flowers. The Large-stipuled Passionflower is characterized by its large, green leaf stipules, which are broad and ovate in shape, covering the petioles and adding an extra layer of protection to the delicate leaves. The flowers of this passionflower are large and showy, with a complex arrangement of petals, sepals, and filaments that resemble the various religious symbols associated with the Passion of Christ, giving the flower its common name. The engraving captures the intricate details of the Passionflower's anatomy, from the veins on the leaves to the delicate filaments and stigmas within the flower. The hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, bringing out the rich hues of the flower and enhancing its beauty. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century, showcasing the dedication and expertise of the botanical community in documenting and preserving the natural world. The Large-stipuled Passionflower remains a popular subject in botanical art and horticulture, and this engraving continues to be a valuable resource for botanical research and appreciation.
