EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Wild Coco Orchid, Eulophia alta, also known as Woodford's Cyrtopodium or Cyrtopodium woodfordii. The intricate details of the orchid's delicate petals and sepals are masterfully captured in this 19th-century illustration, created by the skilled hands of engraver S. Watts, working from an original drawing by Miss Sarah Drake. The Wild Coco Orchid is a stunning epiphyte native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. Its vibrant, elongated flowers bloom in clusters, displaying a captivating array of colors that range from white to pink and purple. The orchid's unique structure, with its long, slender stems and large, flat leaves, is perfectly rendered in this engraving, providing an accurate and detailed record of this beautiful plant. This illustration was published in the esteemed Botanical Register, a leading horticultural publication of the time, edited by Sydenham Edwards and published in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The Botanical Register was renowned for its high-quality illustrations and was an essential resource for botanical enthusiasts, collectors, and gardeners of the era. The Wild Coco Orchid remains a popular and coveted addition to botanical gardens and private collections around the world, and this beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving serves as a testament to its enduring allure and the artistry of its creators.
