EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of Lees Blue-flowered Tree Lupin, Lupinus nootkatensis beta fruticosus, a rare and captivating plant native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The illustration was meticulously drawn by John Curtis and masterfully engraved by Weddell for the prestigious Curtis's Botanical Magazine, published in London in 1820. Lees Blue-flowered Tree Lupin is a unique and intriguing member of the legume family, characterized by its tall, shrubby growth habit and distinctive blue-violet flowers. The plant's vibrant blooms contrast beautifully against the rich greens of its foliage, making it a beloved subject for botanical artists and collectors alike. The history of this engraving is nearly as fascinating as the plant itself. Curtis's Botanical Magazine, also known as "The Botanical Register," was established in 1816 and quickly became a leading authority on botanical illustration. The magazine's high-quality engravings were produced using the most advanced techniques of the time, resulting in stunningly detailed and accurate representations of plants from around the world. This particular illustration of Lees Blue-flowered Tree Lupin was likely produced as part of the magazine's ongoing efforts to document and disseminate knowledge about the natural world. The engraving provides a valuable record of this beautiful and intriguing plant, which continues to captivate botanists, gardeners, and nature enthusiasts to this day. The intricacy and artistry of this handcoloured copperplate engraving are a testament to the dedication and expertise of the artists and craftsmen involved in its creation. It remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and wonder of the natural world, as well as a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration.
