EDITORS COMMENTS
Brick-red Caiophora, Caiophora lateritia: A Vibrant Victorian Botanical Discovery This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Brick-red Caiophora, Caiophora lateritia,' is a captivating botanical masterpiece from the Victorian era. Created by skilled artisans S. Nevitt and Miss Maund, under the supervision of Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow for their publication, 'The Botanist,' this engraving showcases the intricate details and alluring beauty of the Brick-red Caiophora, a little-known Argentinean plant also known as the Tacuman. The Brick-red Caiophora, Caiophora lateritia, is a native of Argentina and is characterized by its vibrant brick-red color, which is particularly evident in its inflorescence. The plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and was a fascinating discovery during the Victorian era, a time when botanical exploration and documentation were at their peak. The meticulous process of creating this engraving involved the artist, Miss Maund, carefully studying the plant and creating a botanical illustration. This illustration was then transferred to a copper plate, which was engraved by S. Nevitt to create the intricate lines and details. The final touch was the application of hand-colours by skilled artisans, resulting in the stunning, lifelike image that we see today. This engraving is a testament to the dedication and passion of the Victorian botanists and artists who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the natural world. The Brick-red Caiophora, Caiophora lateritia, may be a small plant, but its discovery and representation in this beautiful engraving have left a lasting impact on the history of botany and horticulture.
