EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant yellow flowered common dandelion, known scientifically as Leontodon taraxacum. Created by the talented James Sowerby, a renowned botanical illustrator from the 19th century, this handcolored copperplate engraving is truly a work of art. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes bring this medicinal plant to life, capturing its beauty and essence. Featured in William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's "Medical Botany" published in 1832, this illustration serves as both an educational tool and a testament to Sowerby's artistic prowess. His dedication to his craft is evident through his extensive body of work that includes over 2,500 plants for Smith's monumental "English Botany" series. The antique charm of this botanical plate transports us back in time to early 19th-century England. It reminds us of the rich history of natural sciences and the importance placed on documenting and understanding the world around us during that era.
