EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured botanical engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Azorian Jasmine, Jasminum azoricum. Originally published in the esteemed Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Volume XX, number 1052, in 1816 by John Sims, this image was produced by the skilled hands of Couchman, a renowned London-based publishing house. The Azorian Jasmine, also known as the Madeira Jasmine, is a rare and endemic plant species native to the volcanic islands of the Azores in the North Atlantic Ocean. This delicate and graceful plant is renowned for its intoxicating fragrance, which is said to be reminiscent of the sweet aroma of traditional Jasmine. The intricate details of the Azorian Jasmine's flowers, leaves, and stems are masterfully captured in this botanical engraving. The delicate petals of the flower are depicted in soft shades of pink and white, while the veins on the leaves are meticulously rendered in precise lines. The delicate tendrils that cling to the stems are also beautifully illustrated, adding to the overall charm of this engraving. Botanical illustrations such as this one played a crucial role in the scientific exploration and documentation of new plant species during the 18th and 19th centuries. They provided a detailed and accurate record of the plant's morphology, enabling scientists and horticulturists to study and reproduce these plants in their own gardens and collections. Today, the Azorian Jasmine remains a rare and sought-after plant species, prized for its unique beauty and intoxicating fragrance. This stunning botanical engraving serves as a testament to the enduring allure of these enchanting plants and the artistry of the botanical illustrators who captured their essence so beautifully.
