1819 Curtis Flowered Mallow Venice Weddell
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Venice-mallow flowered Turnera, Turnera trioniflora. Drawn by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis and meticulously engraved by Weddell, this illustration was first published in the prestigious Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1819. The Turnera trioniflora, commonly known as the Venice-mallow, is a vibrant and captivating plant native to South America. Its striking, velvety, and richly coloured flowers, depicted in this illustration, are a true testament to its allure. The Venice-mallow is a climbing shrub that produces clusters of tricoloured flowers, each with a unique, intricate design. The flowers are a beautiful blend of pink, white, and red hues, with a yellow centre, making them a delight to behold. The history of this illustration is as fascinating as the plant itself. Curtis's Botanical Magazine, founded in 1794, was the first botanical periodical in the world and played a significant role in documenting and disseminating knowledge about new and exotic plants. The magazine was renowned for its high-quality illustrations, which were produced using the copperplate engraving technique. This technique involved creating an engraving on a copper plate, which was then inked and printed onto paper. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the Venice-mallow illustration are a testament to the skill and artistry of John Curtis and Weddell. This historical and beautiful illustration is a must-have for botanical enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the natural world's beauty. It is a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
