EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Swamp Titi, or Virginian Itea, Cyrilla racemiflora, a beautiful native plant of the southeastern United States. The engraving is based on a botanical illustration by John Curtis, which was published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine, edited by William Curtis, in London in 1823. The Swamp Titi is also known as the Sweet-scented Itea or the Virginian Itea, and it is characterized by its graceful, arching branches and small, white, fragrant flowers that bloom in late spring. These flowers are arranged in elegant racemes, or clusters, and they attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The Swamp Titi is a deciduous shrub that thrives in moist, shady environments, making it a common sight in swamps and wetlands. Its leaves are simple, oval, and glossy, and they turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, and it offers a glimpse into the botanical exploration and documentation of the past. The delicate details and vibrant colors captured in this print make it a treasure for any botanical collection or garden enthusiast.
