EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Orchid: calopogon tuberus, as depicted in a lithograph by James Sowerby. Created in 1790 for William Curtis's Botanical Magazine, this artwork captures the essence of botanical knowledge and natural history from 18th century England. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the Bletia purpurea orchid are brought to life through hand-colored copperplate engraving. Sowerby's skillful illustration transports us back to Lambeth, London, where this masterpiece was born.

From England to Europe and beyond, this print is a testament to how nature transcends borders and captivates hearts across time. Its presence on any wall brings forth an appreciation for both artistic expression and our planet's remarkable flora. Let us celebrate this fusion of art and science - an enduring tribute to one of nature's most extraordinary creations - captured forever in this stunning lithography by James Sowerby.
