Botanical Engraving: Plate No. 96
Tradescantia Virginica, Commelina Coelestis, Funkia Fulva, Ixia Grandiflora
A reproduction of a hand-colored engraving| mid-19th c. THis luminous study in contrast and composition, this 19th-century botanical engraving captures the quiet drama of the natural world in saturated jewel tones and delicate linework. Deep sapphire blooms mingle with a coppery lily—each petal a gesture of movement, each stem a whisper of structure. The palette is striking yet composed, a moment of wildness arranged with care.
Originally rendered by Dr. Sydenham Edwards, one of England’s most esteemed botanical illustrators, this plate was once part of a larger compendium documenting the horticultural wonders of its time.
Framed in vintage gilt wood and protected behind glass, it brings a sense of painterly calm and botanical romance to any room.
