EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Alpine Aster, Aster alpinus, a beautiful and hardy perennial flower native to the European Alps and other mountainous regions. The illustration is taken from the Botanical Magazine, published by William Curtis in Lambeth, London, in 1789. Curtis was a renowned botanist and publisher, known for his groundbreaking work in documenting and disseminating knowledge about plants. The Alpine Aster is characterized by its daisy-like flowers, which bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white, and grow in dense clusters atop stems that can reach up to 30 centimeters in height. The plant is adapted to harsh alpine conditions, with small, narrow leaves that help it conserve water and resist wind and frost. The intricate details of the Alpine Aster's flowers and leaves are expertly captured in this handcolored engraving, which showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. The use of handcoloring added an additional layer of beauty and realism to the print, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This historical botanical illustration not only serves as a record of the Alpine Aster's appearance, but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botany and the advancements in plant documentation during the late 18th century. The Botanical Magazine, and works like it, played a crucial role in expanding our understanding of the natural world and inspiring further exploration and discovery.
