EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Madeira moneywort, Sibthorpia peregrina, also known as Trailing Disandra or Disandra prostrata. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Sansom, was published in William Curtis' esteemed Botanical Magazine in London in 1793. Madeira moneywort is a charming, trailing plant native to the Mediterranean region, with delicate, heart-shaped leaves and vibrant, star-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The plant's common name derives from the belief that its small, round, silver-dollar-like leaves resemble coins from the island of Madeira. The intricate details of the engraving capture the delicate veining on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flowers, which add to the plant's allure. The rich colors used in the hand-coloring process bring the illustration to life, making it a true work of art. William Curtis was a renowned botanist, horticulturist, and publisher who played a significant role in documenting and disseminating knowledge about plants during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Botanical Magazine, which he founded in 1787, was a leading publication for botanical illustrations and was instrumental in promoting the study and cultivation of exotic plants. This illustration of Madeira moneywort is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Sansom and the scientific accuracy of Curtis but also a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the importance of preserving and documenting it for future generations.
