EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Gomesa forbesii orchid, also known as the Forbes Oncidium or Oncidium forbesii. The image is based on a botanical illustration by the renowned botanical artist Walter Fitch, as published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine of London in 1838. William Jackson Hooker, the editor of the Botanical Magazine at the time, was instrumental in the publication of this stunning representation of the Gomesa forbesii. The Gomesa forbesii is a mesmerizing orchid species, with its vibrant, golden-yellow labellum contrasting against the dark background of its sepals and petals. The intricate details of the orchid's structure are masterfully captured in this engraving, from the delicate veining on its leaves to the intricate ridges on its labellum. Orchids have long been admired for their unique and captivating beauty, and the Gomesa forbesii is no exception. This engraving serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the natural world for future generations. The Gomesa forbesii is native to South America, specifically the Andes Mountains of Ecuador and Peru. It is an epiphyte, meaning it grows on other plants rather than in soil, and is known for its fragrant, white flowers that bloom in clusters. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this remarkable orchid species.
