EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the enchanting Sprekelia formosissima, commonly known as the Jacobean lily, in all its splendor. Dating back to the late 18th century, this botanical illustration is a captivating addition to any folio or botanical collection. The print, produced between 1768 and 1795, is an exceptional example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized botanical illustrations during this period. The Jacobean lily, a member of the Amaryllidaceae family and the Liliaceae order, is an aztec plant native to Mexico and Central America. This monocotyledonous flowering plant, belonging to the Angiospermae, Magnoliophyta, and Asparagales classes, is renowned for its striking magenta flowers that bloom atop tall stems. This illustration, created during the height of the Enlightenment, reflects the growing fascination with the natural world and the desire to document and classify new discoveries. The artist, John Edwards, masterfully captured the unique features of the Jacobean lily, providing an accurate record of this beautiful plant for future generations. The Jacobean lily, with its elegant and distinctive flowers, has long been a favorite among botanists, horticulturists, and flower enthusiasts. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of these magnificent blooms and the importance of botanical illustrations in documenting the natural world.
