The Passion Flower was discovered in the Brazil's, and its wonders soon proclaimed it to the Christian Kingdoms as representing the passion of our Lord, whence its present appreciation... On one of the species (the pass a flora alata) even the drops of blood are to be seen un the cross, or tree, the flower keeps open three days, and then disappears, emblematic of our Saviour's resurrection.
[n.d. c.1820.]
Hand-coloured, embossed, plate with hand-written text. Sheet 360 x 247mm (14¼ x 9¾").
The passiflora alata, the winged-stem passion flower, is native to the Amazon from Peru to eastern Brazil. The name refers to the passion of Jesus in Christian theology.

[Ernest Edwin Abbott.]
[n.d. c.1930.]
Etching. 222 x 312mm. 8¾ x 12¼". Some spotting. Old glue mark.
Ernest Edwin Abbott (1899-1973) was born in Bideford, Devon. In 1911 he left alone as an ironmonger for Western Australia. In 1913 he married Florence Radcliffe Olde, collar worker, also from Bideford. According to the Electoral Rolls of 1919 and 1924 for Kooyong, Victoria, a subdivision of Kew, he was described as an artist. They finally moved to Melbourne where he later died, three years after his wife. He was mainly self-taught. Abbott was a craftsman so had studios and made his own engraving tools and printed his images on a flat-plate press. He is best known for italglio prints, watercolours and some oils. In 1920 having moved to Melbourne he took a studio in Oxford Chambers, but after about a decade he gave up his city studio to focus on printmaking at his home, particularly dry-point etching. His work focused around Egyptian, Australian and English scenery. Abbott is not known to have exhibited during his lifetime, although a retrospective exhibition was held in 1993.
