EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching depicts the Blue Safflower, Carthamus caeruleus, also known as La Carthame de la Caroline. The beauty and intrigue of this flower are showcased in Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The Blue Safflower is a striking plant, with its vibrant blue petals and distinctive yellow center. The delicate etching captures the intricate details of the flower, from the wavy edges of the petals to the tiny veins that run through them. But this etching is not just an ode to the Blue Safflower's visual allure. The image also reveals the flower's role as a source of sustenance for various creatures. A moth and a bird are depicted in the scene, drawn to the allure of the flower's nectar. The moth's long proboscis is extended, reaching deep into the flower's center, while the bird perches on a nearby branch, observing the moth with curiosity. The Blue Safflower, native to the Mediterranean region, was cultivated in both Chinese and European gardens during the 18th century. Its beauty and versatility made it a popular addition to gardens, and its seeds were used for various culinary and medicinal purposes. Today, the Blue Safflower continues to be appreciated for its unique beauty and the role it plays in the natural world.
