EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving and botanical illustration showcase the stunning Jacobean lily or Aztec lily, Sprekelia formosissima. Depicted in intricate detail, the flower is rendered with great care and accuracy by the skilled hand of James Sowerby for William Curtis's renowned publication, The Botanical Magazine, published in Lambeth Marsh, London, in 1787. Sprekelia formosissima, also known as Jacobean lily or Aztec lily, is a beautiful bulbous perennial native to Central America. The plant produces large, showy, and fragrant flowers that bloom in late summer, with each flower lasting up to a week. The flowers display a unique and captivating appearance, characterized by their distinctive three-lobed petals that unfurl in a spiral pattern, giving the illusion of a three-dimensional effect. The petals are adorned with intricate veining and come in various shades of pink, red, and white. The Jacobean lily was a popular addition to Victorian gardens due to its exotic allure and striking appearance. The botanical illustration, produced using the copperplate engraving technique, captures the essence of the flower's beauty and intricacy, providing a window into the natural world of the past. The illustration is further enhanced by the delicate hand-coloring, which adds depth and vibrancy to the petals and enhances their unique textures. This beautiful and intricate illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of James Sowerby and William Curtis, who were at the forefront of botanical illustration during the 18th century. Their work continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, providing a glimpse into the rich history of botanical exploration and horticulture.
