EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured copper engraving by James Sowerby showcases the Liveche (Ligustium levistium), also known as mountain ache. Featured in the renowned book "Botanique medicinale" by William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker, this print from 1832 is a testament to Sowerby's tireless dedication to botanical illustration. Sowerby, an accomplished artist from 18th-century England, left an indelible mark on the world of botany with his meticulous drawings. Over his career, he produced more than 2500 plant illustrations for Smith Mammoth's "English Botanical" and created vibrant depictions of English mushrooms in his work titled "Colourful Representations of English Mushrooms". In this particular artwork, we are treated to a detailed representation of the Liveche plant. The delicate lines and intricate coloring bring out its beauty and essence. Sowerby's attention to detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this medicinal herb. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to an era when scientific exploration intertwined with artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of the invaluable contributions made by individuals like Sowerby who dedicated their lives to documenting and preserving our natural world. This exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection not only captures the essence of Liveche but also pays homage to James Sowerby's remarkable talent as a botanical illustrator.
