EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured engraving, dating back to 1836, showcases the captivating beauty of Cobaea scandens, also known as the Cathedral Bell or Cup and Saucer Plant. The illustration is part of the renowned Flore des jardiniers, amateurs et manufacturiers series and was created by Panacre Bessa (1772-1846), a celebrated botanical artist of his time. Native to Mexico, this herbaceous climber mesmerizes with its enchanting trumpet-shaped flowers that resemble delicate cups resting on saucers. The intricate details captured in this print highlight the plant's lush green leaves and sturdy stems as it gracefully ascends towards sunlight. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of nature's wonders but also in its contribution to botany studies during the 19th century. This hand-coloured engraving serves as a testament to Bessa's talent in accurately depicting plants for scientific purposes while maintaining an artistic flair. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print transports us back to a time when botanical illustrations were highly valued for their educational and aesthetic qualities. It reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with nature and how these timeless works continue to inspire generations.
