EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the beautiful and intricate details of Kennedia carinata, also known as Large-keeled Physolobium or Carinatum, an exquisite flowering plant native to Australia. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the talented Mrs. Augusta Withers and masterfully engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, 'The Botanist,' published in London in 1836. The engraving captures the delicate elegance of Kennedia carinata, with its vibrant, tubular flowers blooming in rich shades of red, orange, and yellow. The large, keeled pods, from which the plant derives its common name, are also depicted in intricate detail, adding to the overall beauty and scientific accuracy of the illustration. Mrs. Withers' exceptional botanical artistry and Nevitt's precise engraving techniques bring the unique characteristics of this Australian native to life, providing an invaluable record of its appearance for generations to come. The Victorian-era garden setting in the background adds a sense of nostalgia and historical context, making this a truly captivating and educational piece for anyone interested in botany, horticulture, or the natural world. This engraving is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical community during the Victorian era, who meticulously documented and celebrated the natural world through their beautiful and intricate illustrations and engravings.
