This print, titled "Narcissus Bulbocodium, or Hoop Petticoat Narcissus," is a historical masterpiece showcasing the enchanting beauty of the Narcissus Bulbocodium, a type of daffodil, from the late 18th century. The illustration, created by the renowned botanical artist, Curtis, in 1789, is a testament to the intrigue and fascination that the natural world held during the era of scientific discovery. The illustration itself is a stunning example of the meticulous attention to detail that characterized botanical art of the time. The bulb of the Narcissus Bulbocodium is illustrated in cross-section, revealing its intricate inner workings and the delicate structures that nourish the plant. The bulb is encircled by a hoop petticoat, a common method of cultivation in the 18th and 19th centuries, which helped protect the bulbs from rodents and other pests. The print is a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the important role it played in documenting and preserving the natural world. Botanical illustrations like this one were essential tools for botanists, horticulturists, and collectors, providing accurate and detailed records of plant species and their characteristics. This print also serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the Narcissus Bulbocodium, with its delicate yellow flowers and distinctive bulb shape. Today, this beautiful plant continues to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts around the world, and this historical print offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of the natural world as it was perceived over two centuries ago.
