EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Cape Pavetta, Pavetta capensis, also known as the South African Pavetta or Caffra Pavetta. The botanical illustration was originally created by the talented Miss Sara Maund and meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Pavetta capensis is a native plant of South Africa, renowned for its vibrant, tubular, and two-lipped flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, red, and white. The plant belongs to the Rubiaceae family and is often cultivated for its ornamental value in Victorian gardens. The intricate details of the Pavetta capensis's flowers are masterfully captured in this botanical illustration. The delicate veins on the petals, the subtle variations in color, and the intricate stamen and pistil structures are all rendered with remarkable precision. The engraving process further enhances the image, adding depth and texture to the illustration. The presence of a woman artist, Miss Sara Maund, in the creation of this botanical illustration is a testament to the significant role women played in the field of botany during the Victorian era. Her keen observation skills and artistic abilities allowed her to accurately depict the intricacies of the Pavetta capensis, making this engraving a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This Victorian-era botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty of the Cape Pavetta but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art and the important contributions of women in the field of botany during the 19th century.
