EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts Camellia bonardii, a captivating variety of Camellia japonica. The botanical illustration was originally created by the renowned botanical artist Johann Jakob Jung and later meticulously translated into an engraving by Abbe Laurent Oudet for Lorenzo Berlese's "Iconographie du Genre Camellia, ou description et figures des camellia les plus beaux et les plus rares," published in Paris in 1841. Camellia bonardii, also known as Camellia squamosa or Camellia squammosa, is a hybrid camellia that boasts striking, velvety, and glossy leaves covered in small, raised, scale-like hairs. These leaves are a rich, dark green color, providing a beautiful contrast to the delicate, white flowers that bloom on this plant. The flowers themselves are characterized by their numerous, overlapping petals, creating a ruffled, or "squamose," appearance. The intricate details of this engraving showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Oudet and the botanical accuracy of Jung's original illustration. The delicate veining on the leaves, the fine lines of the petals, and the precise shading all contribute to the lifelike quality of the image. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of botanical illustration during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world through both art and science. The Camellia bonardii continues to captivate gardeners and botanists alike with its unique beauty and intriguing history.
