EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Thallus or Iceland moss, also known as Eryngo-leaved lichen or Lichen islandicus. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was created by James Sowerby for William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's renowned publication "Medical Botany" in 1832. The intricate botanical illustration beautifully captures the delicate details of this medicinal plant. The Thallus or Iceland moss is depicted with its unique eryngo-like leaves, showcasing its distinctive characteristics. This image serves as a testament to the meticulous artistry and scientific accuracy that were hallmarks of botanical illustrations during the 19th century. The collaboration between Sowerby, Woodville, and Hooker resulted in a comprehensive collection of various plants found in Britain and beyond. Their work not only contributed to our knowledge of botany but also provided valuable insights into natural history. Displayed against a plain background, this enchanting print allows viewers to focus solely on the exquisite beauty of the Thallus or Iceland moss. Its vibrant colors bring life to the image, evoking a sense of wonder at nature's diversity. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era when botanical exploration was at its peak. It reminds us of England's rich heritage in scientific discovery while celebrating Europe's contribution to our understanding of flora and fauna.
