EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate roots and tubers of the potato plant, Solanum tuberosum, as illustrated by the renowned botanical artist Sydenham Edwards for William Curtis' Lectures on Botany, delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, London, in 1805. Edwards, a prolific artist, created thousands of botanical plates for the Curtis Botanical Magazine and his own Botanical Register. The potato, a staple food source for millions around the world, is depicted in meticulous detail, with its complex root system and distinctive tubers. The roots, which are typically long and fibrous, are shown extending from the tubers, anchoring the plant in the soil and absorbing essential nutrients. The tubers, which are enlarged stems that store nutrients, are shown in various sizes and shapes, some with a smooth surface and others with a rough, netted texture. This historical illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the botanical world of the early 19th century, showcasing the intricacies of the potato plant and the skillful artistry of Sydenham Edwards. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and detail to the already impressive copperplate engraving, making this a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection.
