EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of lettuce growing on the walls, a sight that is both captivating and unexpected. The coloured copper engraving by Isaac Russell from William Baxter's book "English Botanical Phenomenes" in 1834 showcases the delicate details of Ivy leaved wall lettuce, Prenanthes muralis.
William Baxter, the curator of the Oxford Botanical Garden from 1813 to 1854, had a keen eye for botanical illustrations and his collaboration with Russell resulted in this exquisite piece of art. The handcoloured copperplate engraving brings out the vibrant hues and textures of the lettuce, making it appear almost lifelike.
The image not only serves as a visual delight but also as a reminder of nature's ability to thrive in unexpected places. The juxtaposition of lush greenery against solid stone walls creates a sense of harmony and balance that is truly mesmerizing.
As we admire this print, we are transported back to a time when botanical exploration was at its peak and artists like Russell and Baxter were dedicated to documenting the wonders of nature. Their legacy lives on through works like this one, reminding us to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us every day.
