EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of the Caper shrub, scientifically known as Capparis spinosa. The image showcases the shrub's white flowers with pink stamen and stalks, complemented by its heart-shaped leaves.
Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty for "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" in 1807, this artwork is a re-issue of her own "Viridarium" from 1806. Moriarty, a colonel's widow and mother of four children, turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her family.
The handcoloured copperplate engraving brings out the intricate details of the caper shrub, making it a true work of art. This illustration serves as both a botanical guidebook and a piece of floral artistry from the 19th century.
Henrietta Moriarty's talent shines through in this depiction of nature's wonders. The combination of artistic skill and botanical expertise makes this print a valuable addition to any collection.
Overall, this print not only celebrates the beauty of the Caper shrub but also pays tribute to an accomplished female artist who defied societal norms to pursue her passion for both literature and botany.
