EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases a captivating array of corollas from various botanical specimens, including Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna), Thorn Apple (Datura stramonium), Periwinkle (Vinca major), and Wallflower (Erysimum cheiri). The illustration is a masterpiece by Sydenham Edwards, who was renowned for his botanical art during the early 19th century. Edwards produced thousands of botanical plates for both the Curtis Botanical Magazine and his own Botanical Register. This particular illustration was created as part of William Curtis' Lectures on Botany, delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, London, in 1805. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving allows us to appreciate the intricacies of each flower's structure. The Deadly Nightshade, with its iconic bell-shaped corolla and distinctive purple and black berries, is infamous for its toxic properties. Thorn Apple, or Jimson Weed, is known for its beautiful, trumpet-shaped corolla and hallucinogenic properties. Periwinkle's funnel-shaped corolla is a favourite among gardeners, while the Wallflower's symmetrical five-petaled corolla is a delight to behold. This historical botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty of these flowers but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art and the significant contributions made by Sydenham Edwards to the field.
