EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Blue and White Flax, or Linum ascyrifolium, a native European plant belonging to the Linum genus. The image, created by the skilled hand of Sydenham Edwards, was published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine between 1790 and 1800. The Blue and White Flax is distinguished by its slender, delicate stems adorned with pale, almost translucent blue flowers. The leaves of this plant are characterized by their fine, ascyrhiform shape, as indicated by its botanical name Linum ascyrifolium. The intricate details of the veins on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flowers are expertly captured in this historical illustration. The Blue and White Flax is a beloved plant in the botanical world, and its inclusion in Curtis' Botanical Magazine reflects its significance during this period in European botanical exploration and documentation. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring techniques add to the timeless allure of this botanical masterpiece. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the fascination with the natural world during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Blue and White Flax continues to captivate viewers with its ethereal beauty and historical significance.
