EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Whorled milkweed, also known as eastern whorled milkweed, horsetail milkweed, or whorl-leaved swallow-wort. The image captures the intricate details of this plant species, highlighting its unique characteristics and vibrant colors. The handcolored lithograph by Endicott is based on a botanical illustration from John Torrey's renowned work, "A Flora of the State of New York". This masterpiece of scientific illustration was published in 1843 and featured plates drawn by Torrey himself, along with Agnes Mitchell, Elizabeth Paoley, and Swinton. Whorled milkweed is native to North America and can be found across the continent. Its slender leaves grow in a distinctive whorled pattern around its stem. The plant produces clusters of small white flowers that attract various pollinators. This artwork not only celebrates the natural beauty of Whorled milkweed but also pays homage to American botanist John Torrey (1796-1873). Known for his contributions to botany, chemistry, and medicine, Torrey played a significant role in advancing scientific knowledge during his time. With its exquisite detail and historical significance, this print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and scientific exploration. It reminds us of the rich botanical heritage found within North America while showcasing the talent behind this stunning piece of art.
