EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts Loasea grandiflora, also known as Common Toadflax or Linaris vulgaris, Linaire pelore, or Peloree in French. The image is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). Turpin is celebrated for his exceptional talent in botanical illustration and is considered one of the greatest artists of the 19th century in this field. Loasea grandiflora is a herbaceous perennial plant that is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. The plant features tall, erect stems adorned with linear, lanceolate leaves. The most notable feature of this plant is its vibrant, showy, and fragrant flowers. The blooms are typically yellow, with red or purple veins, and they appear in dense, terminal racemes. The edible fruits of Loasea grandiflora are small, round, and contain numerous seeds. Historically, the plant has been used for various medicinal purposes, particularly for treating skin conditions and as a remedy for toothaches. In the world of botany, this plant is an essential addition to any study or collection due to its beauty and historical significance. This exquisite engraving showcases the intricate details of Loasea grandiflora's structure, from its leaves to its flowers, highlighting the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to capturing the true essence of this remarkable plant.
