EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicts the Plantain Shore-weed, Littorella uniflora (previously known as Littorella lacustris), a small, aquatic plant native to the shores of Europe, Asia, and North America. The intricate detail of the engraving, taken from an illustration by Richard Duppa for his seminal work "The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany," published in London in 1816 by Longman, Hurst, reveals the delicate beauty of this unassuming plant. Littorella uniflora, also known as Plantain Shore-weed or Monkeyflower Shoreweed, is a low-growing, submerged or emergent plant that thrives in shallow, nutrient-poor waters. Its small, white, unisexual flowers bloom from June to September, and its fruit is a capsule that contains numerous tiny seeds. The Linnaean System of Botany, developed by Carl Linnaeus in the late 1700s, revolutionized the way plants were classified and named. Duppa's work, which featured over 1,100 engraved plates, was one of the most comprehensive and accurate botanical works of its time, and played a crucial role in the dissemination of Linnaean botany throughout Europe and beyond. This exquisite engraving not only showcases the scientific accuracy of Duppa's work but also highlights the artistry of the copperplate engraving process, which was a popular method for producing high-quality botanical illustrations during the 18th and 19th centuries. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring the tiny details of the Plantain Shore-weed to life, making this a true masterpiece of botanical art.
