EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of the Black-flowered protea, Protea lepidocarpon, with its large hairy dingy flowers and pink veined leaves. Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty in "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" (1807), this botanical artwork showcases the intricate details of this unique plant species.
Henrietta Moriarty, a colonel's widow turned writer and illustrator, created this masterpiece to support her four children in the 19th century. Her handcoloured copperplate engravings bring out the vibrant colors and delicate features of the Black-flowered protea, making it a true work of art.
The contrast between the dark blooms and light pink veins on the leaves adds depth and dimension to this botanical illustration. The meticulous attention to detail in each petal and leaf shows Moriarty's dedication to capturing nature's beauty in her artwork.
