EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the beautiful Hydrangea hortensia, also known as the Hortensia Hydrangea or the French Hydrangea. The image is taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder, or Picture Book for Children, published in Weimar in 1802. The botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. Hydrangea hortensia is a popular garden flower known for its large, showy clusters of flowers. The plant is native to China and Japan, but was introduced to Europe in the late 18th century. The name Hydrangea comes from the Greek words hydor (water) and angos (vessel), referring to the plant's water-holding capacity. The specific epithet hortensia is believed to have been given in honor of Henriette de France, Madame Henri IV, who was known for her love of the plant. The engraving captures the essence of the Hydrangea hortensia in all its glory. The delicate petals of the flowers are rendered in intricate detail, with each vein and curve beautifully captured. The hand-coloring adds a vibrant touch to the image, bringing the flowers to life in a way that a print could not. This illustration would have been an essential part of an educational encyclopedia or natural history book for children of the time. It would have been used to teach children about the natural world around them, introducing them to the beauty and diversity of plants. Today, it remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the botanical knowledge and artistic skill of the early 19th century.
