EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Great Double Daisy, Bellis perennis var. major flore pleno. The intricate detail in this illustration, published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine in London in 1793, captures the full grandeur of this varietal of common daisy. The Great Double Daisy is a garden favorite, with its large, double blooms that appear in clusters, creating a lush and abundant display. The delicate petals, each tipped with a darker hue, surround a golden center, adding to the flower's allure. The meticulous engraving by Sansom highlights the intricacies of the daisy's structure, from the veining on the leaves to the delicate fringes of the petals. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical community during the 18th century, who sought to document and preserve the natural world in all its splendor. The Great Double Daisy continues to be a beloved flower in gardens around the world, and this illustration serves as a reminder of its timeless beauty.
