The image is a copperplate engraving on paper, meticulously crafted during the late 18th century by Joseph Banks and his team as part of their renowned work, Banks' Florilegium. The delicate lines and intricate details in this botanical plate are truly awe-inspiring. It is based on watercolor drawings by Sydney Parkinson, capturing the essence of this species with remarkable precision. The vibrant colors bring life to the composition, highlighting the lush greenery and natural splendor of Wikstroemia foetida. Banks and his party encountered this species during their explorations in Huahine and Ulhieta islands in July 1769. Their dedication to documenting these plants played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of botany and natural sciences during that era. This particular print measures 46x31 cm and belongs to Alecto Historical Editions in London, UK.
