EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Blue Nasturtium or Indian Cress, Tropaeolum azureum. The intricate details of the delicate flowers are masterfully captured in this botanical illustration, created by the skilled hand of G. Barclay, based on an original observation by Miss Sarah Drake. This illustration was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's renowned horticultural publication, "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," in 1854 by G. Willis in London. The Blue Nasturtium, native to Chile, is a rare and captivating plant, with its unique blue-violet blooms contrasting strikingly against the bright green foliage. The plant is a trailing herb, producing tuberous roots and boasting vibrant, lobed leaves. The flowers, which emerge in clusters, are not only visually stunning but also edible, adding a delightful pop of color and flavor to salads and garnishes. Botanical illustrations, such as this one, played a crucial role in the scientific exploration and documentation of new plant species during the Victorian era. They provided a precise and accurate record of the plant's appearance, allowing for effective communication between botanists and horticulturists across the globe. This stunning illustration of the Blue Nasturtium not only showcases the plant's beauty but also serves as a testament to the remarkable advancements in botanical art during the 19th century.
