EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from 1836 showcases the exquisite beauty of the American Turkscap Lily, also known as the American Tiger Lily. The delicate petals and vibrant colors of this flower are expertly captured by Pancrace Bessa, a renowned French artist of his time. The print is part of the private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, offering a glimpse into the world of botany and horticulture during that era. It originates from "Flore des jardiniers, amateurs et manufacturiers: D aprAs les dessins de Bessa" an esteemed publication featuring illustrations inspired by Bessa's drawings. Lilium superbum, as it is scientifically named, stands tall with its turks cap-shaped blossom adorned with numerous stamen. Its leaves gracefully complement the striking appearance of this botanical wonder. Displayed against a neutral background in this engraving, every intricate detail comes to life - from each petal delicately unfurling to reveal its inner beauty to the meticulously depicted veins on its leaves. This artwork truly celebrates nature's artistry. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder for all admirers of flora and fauna to appreciate. As you gaze upon this enchanting image, let yourself be transported back in time when such prints were treasured for their ability to capture nature's wonders and bring them into our homes.
