EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Darling Pea, Swainsona greyana, also known as Captain Grey's Swainsona. The beautiful illustration was created by the skilled hand of Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by George Barclay for the Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley, in London during 1846. The Darling Pea is a native plant of South Australia and is named after the explorer Captain Grey. The delicate female artist, Miss Drake, has expertly captured the intricate details of this unique and captivating flower. The Swainsona greyana is known for its charming bell-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The plant's foliage is covered in fine hairs, giving it a soft and velvety texture. This stunning engraving is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature, and a reminder of the artistic talent and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past.
