This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Pale narcissus or primrose peerless, Narcissus biflorus" is a true masterpiece of botanical art. Created by the talented illustrator James Sowerby for Smith's "English Botany" in 1795, this print showcases the exquisite beauty and intricate details of the delicate flower. The image transports us to a serene courtyard garden, where clusters of pale narcissus blossoms gracefully sway in the gentle breeze. Each petal is meticulously depicted with vibrant hues that bring life to the page. Sowerby's skillful drawing captures not only the visual essence but also evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony found within nature. Narcissus biflorus, commonly known as daffodil or primrose peerless, takes center stage in this enchanting composition. Its elegant form and subtle coloration make it an alluring subject for any admirer of botany. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate every nuance – from each delicate stamen to the soft curves of its petals.

His expertise extended beyond botany into mycology, conchology, and geology – making him a versatile artist whose works continue to inspire generations. This historical engraving serves as a window into both British flora and artistic excellence from centuries past. It reminds us of our connection with nature and encourages us to cherish its wonders even today.
