EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Heliotropium species, L. Heliotrope d'Amerique, or American Turnsole," is a captivating representation of this intriguing flower from the Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The American Turnsole, also known as Heliotropium curassavicum, is a native of the Caribbean and Central America, and was introduced to Europe in the late 17th century. The delicate beauty of this Heliotrope species is showcased in this stunning etching, with its vibrant purple and white petals arranged in a perfect spiral around a central yellow disk. The plant's unique ability to turn its flowers towards the sun, following the daily light, is a fascinating adaptation that has earned it the common name "turnsole." This etching is a testament to the artistry and skill of the 18th-century botanical illustrators, who meticulously hand-colored each print to bring out the intricacies and details of the flower. The precise shading and attention to detail in the veining of the leaves and the delicate texture of the petals are a testament to the artist's skill. The Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses was a groundbreaking work in the field of botanical illustration, featuring over 200 hand-colored etchings of exotic and rare flowers from around the world. This etching of the American Turnsole is a rare and beautiful example of the collection's artistic and scientific significance.
