EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of purple flowered wild thyme, scientifically known as Thymus serpyllum. The handcolored copperplate engraving was created by the talented James Sowerby for a botanical illustration featured in William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's "Medical Botany" in 1832. Sowerby, an incredibly prolific artist, meticulously drew over 2,500 plants for Smith's renowned "English Botany" and contributed 440 mushroom illustrations to "Coloured Figures of English Fungi". His dedication to capturing the intricate details of nature is evident in this exquisite depiction of wild thyme. The vibrant purple flowers stand out against the backdrop of lush green foliage, showcasing the herb's delicate beauty. This particular species of thyme has long been valued for its medicinal properties and herbal uses. Its aromatic leaves are often used in cooking or brewed into teas for their soothing qualities. Dating back to the 19th century, this antique print provides a glimpse into England's rich natural history. It serves as a testament to Sowerby's skill as an engraver and his contribution to botanical art during that era. Displayed on Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, this print captures not only the visual allure but also the scientific significance of Thymus serpyllum.
