Original Copper Plate Engraving: Giant Granadilla / Square‑stemmed Passionflower Plate 2041

The Giant Granadilla stands as one of the most visually arresting passionflower studies from the early 19th-century Curtis botanical canon. This original plate captures the genus at its most theatrical—the layered corona filaments and commanding floral structure are quintessentially Passiflora, while the distinctive thick, angled stem is the diagnostic hallmark of P. quadrangularis. Published in 1819, this print documents the species with the precision and drama that defined Curtis's most celebrated work. A striking addition for collectors of rare botanical art and passionflower enthusiasts alike.“Original 1819 circulated impression from Curtis’s Botanical Magazine. Exceptional A‑grade condition with no foxing, no toning, no creases, and full original margins. As issued, with original letterpress text on the reverse.”
