EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Single-flowered Wintergreen, Moneses uniflora, also known as Pyrola uniflora. Originally illustrated by the renowned botanical artist Richard Duppa, this image was published as part of his seminal work, "The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany," published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in London in 1816. The Single-flowered Wintergreen is a diminutive, rhizomatous perennial herb belonging to the family Pyrolaceae. It is native to the northern hemisphere, particularly in Europe, Asia, and North America. This plant is characterized by its solitary, nodding, bell-shaped flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer. The flowers are typically white or pink, with a distinctive greenish tinge, and possess a delightful fragrance. The intricate details of the Single-flowered Wintergreen's veined leaves, stem, and flower are masterfully captured in this engraving. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the plant to life, providing an accurate representation of its natural form. The meticulous attention to detail is a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the dedication of the botanical community during this period to documenting and preserving the natural world. This image not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical collection but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the evolution of scientific understanding of the natural world.
