EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Sea or Rock Samphire, Crithmum maritimum, a remarkable plant native to the rocky shores of the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The intricate detail of the engraving, taken from an illustration by Richard Duppa, brings to life the delicate beauty of this versatile plant. Crithmum maritimum is a low-growing, succulent plant that thrives in harsh coastal environments. Its small, yellow flowers bloom in late spring and summer, attracting bees and other pollinators. The plant's fleshy leaves are rich in minerals and were once used as a food source by coastal communities. In fact, the plant's common name "samphire" comes from the Old English word "samfre," meaning "summer fruit." The Sea or Rock Samphire is a member of the Dipsacaceae family and was classified by Carl Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1753. Linnaeus' innovative taxonomic system, which categorized organisms into a hierarchical system of classes and orders, revolutionized the study of natural history. Duppa's illustration and this engraving are a testament to the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world. This beautiful and intricate engraving is a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the coastal ecosystem and the importance of documenting and preserving it for future generations. The Sea or Rock Samphire continues to be a source of fascination for botanists and naturalists, and its unique adaptations to its harsh environment make it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
