EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Woad-leaved Centaurea, or Centaurea glastifolia, a native plant of the eastern regions. The image, taken from Sydenham Edwards' botanical illustration published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine in 1791, captures the plant in all its splendor. The Woad-leaved Centaurea is a member of the daisy family and is characterized by its distinctive woad-like leaves, which are deeply lobed and covered in soft, downy hairs. The plant's yellow flowers are large and fluffy, resembling a cloud of golden petals that seem to dance in the breeze. This historical botanical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a record of the natural world as it was known during the late 18th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, and serve as a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations. Centaurea glastifolia was first described by the botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753, and was later illustrated and named by Sydenham Edwards for the Botanical Magazine. The plant is native to Asia and the eastern Mediterranean, and can be found growing in rocky, grassy areas and along roadsides. Today, the Woad-leaved Centaurea remains a beloved plant among gardeners and naturalists, and continues to captivate us with its delicate beauty and rich history.
