EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Baby Blue Eyes or Arkansian Nemophila (Nemophila phacelioides). The delicate flower is depicted in intricate detail, with its vibrant blue petals unfurling around a central yellow eye, giving the appearance of a sweet, gazing infant's eyes. The engraving is based on a botanical illustration by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis, as published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine in London in 1823. The meticulous engraving by Weddell further enhances the natural charm of the flower, capturing every minute detail and texture. The Baby Blue Eyes is a native wildflower of Arkansas and other parts of North America, typically found in open woodlands and prairies. Its charming appearance and ease of cultivation have made it a popular choice for gardens and naturalized areas. This beautiful engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also highlights the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world around us.
