EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the beauty of two different plants - St. Johns wort and blue bottle or cornflower. The intricate botanical illustration was created by Sydenham Edwards for William Curtis' Lectures on Botany, delivered in the Botanic Garden at Lambeth in 1805. The first plant depicted is St. Johns wort, scientifically known as Hypericum perforatum. Its delicate yellow flowers are captured with precision, highlighting its polyadelphia structure. This perennial herb has been used for centuries in traditional medicine due to its potential health benefits. Next to it stands the vibrant blue bottle or cornflower, also called Centaurea cyanus. Its striking blue petals arranged in a symmetrical pattern showcase the beauty of this wildflower belonging to the Syngenesia class. The artistic flair of F. Sansom's handcolouring adds depth and richness to this botanical masterpiece, bringing these plants to life on paper. The attention to detail and skillful execution make this print a true work of art. This engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable scientific information about these plants from the 18th century. It is a testament to both the artist's talent and our fascination with botany throughout history.
