EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Daniel Rabel after a botanical illustration by Maria Sibylla Merian, showcases the enchanting beauty of two beloved spring blooms: the wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) and the snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis). The image captures the essence of the season, as the vibrant yellow daffodils peek through the winter's snow, accompanied by the delicate white snowdrops that gracefully emerge from the earth. Maria Sibylla Merian, a renowned artist and naturalist, meticulously documented these plants in her extensive studies, capturing their intricate details and nuances. Her illustrations were then brought to life through the skilled engraving techniques of Daniel Rabel. This print is from the third edition of Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Histoire Generale des Insectes de Surinam et de tout L Europe, published in Paris in 1771. The wild daffodil, also known as the Lent lily or the daffodil bulb, is a native European plant that is celebrated for its iconic bell-shaped flowers. The snowdrop, on the other hand, is a winter-flowering bulb that is one of the first signs of spring. The engraving also features a peacock butterfly (Aglais io), adding an extra layer of natural splendor to the scene. This stunning work of art is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature, as well as the dedication of Merian and Rabel to documenting and preserving it for future generations. The delicate balance between the wild daffodils and snowdrops, as well as the harmonious combination of the natural elements, makes this print a true masterpiece of botanical illustration.
