EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the enchanting Yellow Star of Bethlehem, Gagea lutea (Ornithogalum luteum), a beautiful and rare bulbous perennial plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. The intricate details of the flower are masterfully captured in this illustration, which was created by renowned botanical artist James Sowerby and published as part of James Smith's English Botany in London in 1791. The Yellow Star of Bethlehem is renowned for its striking, star-shaped yellow flowers, which bloom in late spring and early summer. The plant grows from a bulb and can reach heights of up to 20 centimeters. Historically, the plant was used in herbal medicine for various ailments, including eye problems and as a diuretic. The hand-coloring technique used in this engraving adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, bringing out the intricacies of the flower's petals and veins. The delicate shades of yellow used in the illustration perfectly capture the vibrant hue of the flower in real life. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, providing a detailed and accurate record of the Yellow Star of Bethlehem for posterity. It is a beautiful addition to any botanical collection, garden enthusiast's library, or herbalist's study.
