EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Black Pea, Lathyrus niger, also known as Black Bittervetch or Orobus niger. The intricately detailed image was created by the skilled hands of Weddell, based on a drawing by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis. The engraving was published in the continuation of William Curtis's Botanical Magazine in London, in the year 1822. The Black Pea is a beautiful and intriguing legume, native to the Mediterranean region. Its small, delicate flowers bloom in shades of purple and white, with the pods maturing to a deep black color. The plant is a climber, with tendrils that curl around supports, allowing it to grow upwards and cover large areas. The Black Pea was highly valued in traditional medicine for its medicinal properties. It was used to treat a variety of ailments, including kidney stones, gout, and arthritis. The seeds were also roasted and ground into a flour, which was used to make bread and porridge. The engraving captures the essence of the Black Pea's beauty and intrigue, with its delicate tendrils, vibrant flowers, and deep black pods. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. This stunning print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through art and science.
