EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of the Bastard foxglove, Maurandya semper florens, with its pale lilac flowers elegantly climbing towards the sky. Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty in 1807 for her book "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants," this botanical artwork showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this unique plant species.
Henrietta Moriarty, a talented artist and writer, was a colonel's widow who turned to illustrating botanical books to support her four children. Her dedication to capturing the essence of each plant she depicted is evident in this handcoloured copperplate engraving of the Maurandya semper florens.
The soft hues of lilac in the flowers contrast beautifully against the green foliage, creating a harmonious composition that draws viewers into the enchanting world of botanical art. This illustration serves as both a visual delight and a valuable resource for those interested in studying flora from the 19th century.
