EDITORS COMMENTS
Two-leaved Squill, Scilla bifolia, is a beautiful and intricately detailed flowering plant depicted in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. Drawn by the renowned botanical illustrator James Sowerby and published in James Smith's English Botany in 1791, this image showcases the plant's delicate features with remarkable accuracy. The Two-leaved Squill, also known as the Blue Squill or English Squill, is a bulbous perennial native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is characterized by its two narrow, linear leaves that emerge from a single bulb, giving rise to its scientific name, Scilla bifolia. The plant produces clusters of bell-shaped, blue-purple flowers in the late winter and early spring. Two-leaved Squill has a rich history in horticulture and medicine. It has been cultivated for its attractive flowers and fragrance in gardens and parks since ancient times. In traditional medicine, the plant has been used to treat various ailments, including heart conditions, respiratory problems, and as a sedative. The active ingredient, scillaren, was isolated from the plant in the late 19th century and has since been used in the production of cardiac glycosides. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the beauty and importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the Two-leaved Squill to life, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring fascination with the natural world.
