EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Crisped-flowered Oncidium, Oncidium crispum, or as it was known during the Victorian era, the Crisped Orchid.

The final result is a stunning, detailed representation of the Crisped-flowered Oncidium that captures its essence and beauty with remarkable accuracy. This Victorian-era botanical illustration serves as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world during this time.
