EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by George Barclay after an illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, showcases the captivating beauty of the Spanish flag, also known as Ipomoea lobata or the Lobe-leaved mina. The engraving was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, which was edited by the renowned botanist John Lindley in London during 1842. The Spanish flag, a vine-like plant native to South America, is depicted in all its glory in this exquisite artwork. The plant's vibrant, heart-shaped leaves are intricately detailed, their veins and edges delicately rendered in rich colours. The plant's delicate white flowers, with their five petals arranged in a perfect star shape, are artfully captured, their centres adorned with intricate stamens. Miss Sarah Drake, the female artist behind this masterpiece, expertly captured the essence of the Spanish flag in her original illustration, which was then meticulously translated onto copperplate by George Barclay. The result is a stunning work of art that showcases the beauty and intricacy of this fascinating plant. The Spanish flag was a popular ornamental plant in Victorian gardens, and this engraving would have been a cherished addition to any botanical enthusiast's collection. The artwork's intricate detail and vibrant colours make it a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire botanical artists and enthusiasts to this day.
