EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and intricacy of the Variete of Oxalis, also known as sensitiva, a plant that reacts to touch with movement. The delicate flowers, leaves, and stem are depicted in vibrant colors through an eau forte technique by P. Maioli (or Majoli) and engraving by Giuseppe Bianchi in 1786.
The attention to detail in this botanical illustration is truly remarkable, showcasing the exquisite features of this sensitive plant. Each element is meticulously rendered, from the intricate petals of the flowers to the intricate veins on the leaves.

It serves as a valuable record of botanical knowledge from that era, offering viewers a glimpse into the natural world as it was understood at that time.
