EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of two distinct species of Potentilla, namely the Barren Strawberry (Potentilla sterilis) and the Creeping Potentilla (Potentilla verna). Captured in exquisite detail by Amedee Masclef for his renowned Atlas des Plantes de France in 1893, this image transports us back to a time when botanical exploration was at its peak. On the left side of the print, we are introduced to the Barren Strawberry. Its dainty white flowers and luscious green leaves create a harmonious composition that is both enchanting and serene. The intricate details captured by Masclef's lens allow us to appreciate every fine vein on each leaflet and marvel at nature's impeccable craftsmanship. Adjacent to it, we find the Creeping Potentilla, with its vibrant yellow blooms seemingly reaching out towards us. This low-growing perennial plant forms a dense carpet-like cover on forest floors or rocky terrains. Its petite yet radiant flowers bring an element of cheerfulness to any landscape they grace. As we delve into this historical photograph, we are reminded not only of these specific plants' unique characteristics but also of their place within botanical history. This snapshot serves as a testament to Masclef's dedication as well as our enduring fascination with flora from centuries past.
