EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Dusky Coral Pea, Kennedia rubicunda, also known as the Dingy-flowered glycine. The image is taken from the esteemed Botanical Magazine, published in London in 1794, and was produced under the direction of the renowned botanist, William Curtis. The Dusky Coral Pea is a native of Australia and is characterized by its dusky, coral-coloured flowers, which bloom in clusters. The delicate petals of the flower are adorned with intricate veining, adding to its allure. The plant itself is a vine, which can grow up to 10 meters in length, and is covered in small, green, pea-like pods. The intricacy of this engraving is truly remarkable, with each detail of the plant meticulously captured. The artist has expertly captured the texture of the leaves, the veins on the petals, and the delicate curves of the flower. The use of handcolouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Dusky Coral Pea to life. This beautiful illustration is not only a testament to the artistic skill of the engraver and the botanical knowledge of William Curtis, but also serves as a reminder of the rich natural beauty that exists in the world. The Dusky Coral Pea remains an intriguing and captivating plant, and this image continues to be a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago.
