EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wonderful Plants" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a collection of vibrant and exotic flora. The German School's coloured engraving is a true masterpiece that highlights the beauty and diversity of nature. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the Venus flytrap, known for its unique ability to trap insects with its intricate mechanism. Its delicate yet deadly allure draws our attention, reminding us of the wonders that exist within the natural world. Accompanying this fascinating carnivorous plant is another botanical marvel - the telegraph plant or "movable sensitive plant". With its leaves in constant motion, it seems as though these plants possess a life force all their own. This portrayal captures their dynamic nature and adds an element of intrigue to the composition. Published by Friedrich Justin Bertuch in his renowned "Picture Book for Children" this print serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight. It invites viewers into a realm where imagination meets scientific exploration, encouraging curiosity about our environment. Preserved in private collections over time, this enchanting piece has now found its way into our lives through Bridgeman Images' careful curation. As we gaze upon these wondrous plants meticulously depicted in this engraving, we are reminded once again of nature's awe-inspiring creations and how they continue to captivate us across centuries.
