EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Chocolate Vine, Akebia quinata, also known as the Five-leaved Akebia. The vine is native to Asia and is renowned for its unique chocolate-colored bark and attractive foliage. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by George Barclay for the Edwards Botanical Register, edited by the esteemed botanist John Lindley. The image captures the delicate femininity of the vine, with its intricately detailed leaves and tendrils. The five-lobed leaves are depicted in rich greens, while the vine's tendrils curl gracefully around the stem. The vine's small, fragrant flowers are shown in various stages of bloom, from bud to full flower, adding to the overall allure of this botanical masterpiece. The Chocolate Vine is a climbing plant that produces edible fruit, which is often used in traditional Chinese medicine. The vine's attractive appearance and intriguing history make it a popular choice for botanical gardens and horticultural enthusiasts. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the Victorian era, providing a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the past.
