EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of the Violet wood-sorrel, Oxalis violacea. Captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, this image is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, it is a testament to the timeless allure of botanical illustrations. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, directed and drew this illustration with meticulous detail. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns bring out every nuance of this remarkable plant species.
