EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Wild Carrot, Daucus carota, a fascinating and historically significant plant in the Apiaceae family. Drawn by the renowned botanical artist James Sowerby and published in James Smith's English Botany in 1803, this exquisite image captures the intricate details of the Wild Carrot's delicate flowers, feathery foliage, and distinctive umbels. Wild Carrot, also known as Queen Anne's Lace, is native to Europe, western Asia, and northwestern Africa. It is believed to have been introduced to North America by European settlers. Although it is often mistaken for its cultivated relative, the Domestic Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus), the Wild Carrot is not edible and contains a toxic compound called furanocoumarin, which can cause skin irritation and phototoxicity. Despite its inedibility, the Wild Carrot holds great historical and cultural significance. It was once used as a medicinal plant, with various uses including the treatment of digestive issues and skin conditions. The plant's beautiful white flowers and feathery umbels have also made it a popular subject in botanical illustration and natural history. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of James Sowerby and the scientific curiosity of James Smith's English Botany. With its rich history and timeless appeal, this image continues to inspire awe and fascination, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
