EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of Hawtaynes Meyenia, or Thunbergia Hawtayneana, as it is also known.

Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836.

Her attention to detail and ability to bring the natural world to life through her illustrations made her a respected figure in the field of botany during the 19th century. This engraving provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of botanical discovery and exploration during the Victorian era. The intricate details and stunning colors make it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection or garden-themed decor.
