EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Common Jonquil, or Narcissus Jonquilla, native to Spain. Dating back to 1787, this botanical illustration was created by the renowned English botanical artist, James Sowerby, for William Curtis' Botanical Magazine. The intricate details of the Jonquil's bulb, roots, and vivid yellow flowers are captured with remarkable precision and accuracy, providing an authentic and captivating representation of this beloved spring bloom. The Common Jonquil, a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, has been a favorite in gardens and landscapes for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, and it has since spread across the globe due to its hardiness and charming appeal. The plant's bulbs are typically small and round, with thin, fibrous covers that protect the delicate interior. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art and the fascination with the natural world during the late 18th century. The meticulous process of handcoloring each print added an additional layer of artistry and value to these botanical masterpieces, making them highly sought after by collectors and scholars alike. As you admire the intricate details of this Common Jonquil illustration, take a moment to appreciate the artistry and scientific curiosity that brought it to life over two centuries ago.
