EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of two distinct flowers - the quince flower and the poppy flower. The quince flower, scientifically known as Cydonia oblonga, belongs to the Icosandria family and is represented by numbers 1 and 2 in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. On the other hand, numbers 3 and 4 depict the vibrant poppy flower, scientifically named Papaver rhoeas, which falls under the Polyandria classification. Created by talented artist Sydenham Edwards for William Curtis' Lectures on Botany in 1805, this botanical illustration captures intricate details with precision. The enchanting colours bring these flowers to life as they bloom gracefully on paper. F. Sansom skillfully engraved Edwards' work onto a copperplate before applying vivid hues by hand. Displayed against a white background, these exquisite floral specimens are showcased in all their glory. This print offers a glimpse into nature's wonders through meticulous artistry and scientific accuracy. The collaboration between Edwards, Sansom, Curtis, and Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal of these plants but also their significance within botany. As we delve into this piece of botanical history from the eighteenth century, we are reminded of how art can intertwine with science to create something truly extraordinary.
