EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of the Superb hibiscus, Hibiscus speciosus, with its large crimson flower in full bloom. Native to Carolina, America, this exquisite plant is a true marvel of nature.
Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty in "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" (1807), this hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of the Superb hibiscus. Moriarty, a colonel's widow who turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her four children, was a talented artist and writer whose work continues to inspire awe centuries later.
The lush green foliage surrounding the vivid crimson flower adds depth and contrast to this botanical masterpiece. The careful attention to detail in both the illustration and coloring highlights the skill and dedication of Moriarty as an artist.
This print serves as a beautiful homage to both the Superb hibiscus plant itself and Henrietta Moriarty's artistic talents. It is a timeless piece that brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space it graces.
