EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Sinningia bulbosa, a remarkable plant in the Gesneriaceae family. The illustration, taken from Sydenham Edwards' The Botanical Register, published in London by Ridgway in 1835, offers a detailed and accurate portrayal of this wide-mouthed Sinningia species. Sinningia bulbosa, also known as the wide-mouthed Gesneria or the faucialis Sinningia, is native to the highlands of Brazil. It is characterized by its large, trumpet-shaped flowers, which bloom in various shades of pink, purple, and white. The plant's unique features, including its distinctive mouth-like corolla and its ability to thrive in cooler temperatures, have long fascinated botanists and horticulturists. The botanical illustration, produced using the copperplate engraving technique, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate veining on the leaves, the delicate texture of the petals, and the lifelike representation of the plant's various parts are all rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. This historical illustration not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical collection but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of botany and garden culture during the 19th century. The Botanical Register, under the editorship of Sydenham Edwards, was a leading horticultural publication of its time, dedicated to documenting and disseminating knowledge about new and exotic plant species from around the world.
